ABATE makes it a Merry Christmas for girls and boys

Volunteers from District 10 of ABATE of Iowa gathered at the Humboldt County Fairgrounds on the evening of Nov. 14 to sort hundreds of toys to be distributed throughout the 10 counties District 10 covers. District 10 Coordinator Doug Smith said many of the toys were collected during a Santa in September toy run. The toys will be distributed to various community action groups, such as Humboldt County UDMO, in the 10 counties to be distributed to children in need. District 10 also distributed stuffed animals to kids along the Lighted Holiday Parade route in Humboldt on the evening of Nov. 17, and at the Lights at Kennedy event at Fort Dodge the next night.
