Chamber Members Support La Mesa Military Children by Donating Toys and Bringing Joy!
Each year the Chamber celebrates the spirit of giving by adopting La Mesa military families and making their children feel loved and remembered. This year we needed to do a drive-thru toy gathering activity, due to the pandemic. Thank you to Grossmont Center who gave us space in their parking lot to collect those toys. We want to send a HUGE thank you to Teresa McClatchy and her team at Barnes & Noble, who collected books and toys to make a HUGE impact on the total collected. Due to their efforts and all of our donors, we are proud to announce that we collected 402 toys and items this year!
