About

In about two hours nearly 1000 free new toys are given out at St Vincent DePaul.  Volunteers and organizers run distribution like a well-oiled machine.  Many of the toys are shared with several other agencies including the Baton Rouge Police Department and the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Department for their distribution events. 

You can see your financial generosity at work in the big smiles beaming from precious little faces during Sylvia’s Toys For Christmas distribution day at St Vincent DePaul in Baton Rouge. 

Children line around the dining hall building in great anticipation of getting inside to the front of the line to receive an overstuffed gift bags filled with age and gender specific toys. 

Some of the bags are as big as the child.
