BECKLEY, WV (LOOTPRESS) – For 94 years, Mac’s Toy Fund has been helping families in Raleigh County have a special Christmas every year. Toys, coats, bikes and more have been donated over the years to families who need them most.
Mac’s Toy Fund officials have decided to award grants in 2024, similar to last year. Rather than buy toys to distribute, Mac’s Toy Fund awarded $29,500 in grants to 15 local charitable organizations that give out toys, coats, and the like to children. Monetary donations will offset the costs of these grants.
