Dedication to community
For the 4th straight year, the New Jersey State Park police, Burlington County Search and Rescue, and Pine barren Venom Jeep club have showed their dedication to the community. These great organizations all work together to raise toy donations for families in need and Giving Santa some help in these hard times.
2023 has proven to be a very difficult year for many families. Thanks to the Mullica Township Recreation Association and the use of their sports complex, the mission was able to be a wonderful success. The generosity of those who were involved was a testament to how these exceptional people feel about their community.
The local volunteer fire department, Elwood Volunteer Fire Department, made their 4th showing of support as well. Flashing lights, laughter, hard work and a sense of pride were all in the air this beautiful afternoon. Children played in the beautiful “Pinecone Zone” playground while vehicle after vehicle was unloaded by volunteers.
To make the event even more fun, the New Jersey State Police helicopter made an appearance showing support and wowed the spectators.
Touched by an Angel
It’s truly a blessing to watch the community come together in support of this annual event. Many donors dug very deep to fulfill this tall task. Some people, even though struggling in their own way, gave what they could. The fact these wonderful people made donations to people they may never meet proves we still live in a world of caring, selfless, and loving people.
Matty G Dogz provided yummy hotdogs and soft pretzels to fill empty bellies. There were donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to keep everyone nice and toasty as well!
We’re absolutely over the moon with joy and gratitude for all the amazing donors who stepped up to help make this toy drive a roaring success.
Thanks to everyone’s generosity, we were able to collect a mountain of toys that will bring smiles and joy to countless children in need. Your compassionate hearts and giving spirits are truly what make this world a better place. We couldn’t have done it without the amazing people involved.
Jeepers from far and wide came to enjoy the event and be a part of the action. Two lucky Jeepers even won a prize for having the best decorated Jeeps!
PBVJC is ecstatic to say that the “Stuff the Jeep” portion of the toy drive was a massive success as well. This is where those people who would like to contribute, but cannot make the event, send in monetary donations. A few of Santa’s elves take that money and spend every penny on toys to be added to the cause. This kindness makes a huge difference. We are thrilled to be a part of such a wonderful community with so many giving hearts.
Im not crying, it's windy...
PBVJC and the NJSPP couldn’t be more humbled and grateful to all our wonderful supporters. We are over the moon proud of our team that made all this possible. With everyone’s hard work and dedication, we achieved what is always a tall task to fill. From our hearts to yours, Thank You for making this possible. We are excited to see what the future brings and can’t wait to see what we can accomplish next.
