Holidays can be tough for Richmond families, with financial constraints making it difficult to buy gifts and cook festive meals. Macaroni KID Richmond compiled a list of local Christmas toy and food drives to help these families in the area. We want to make sure every family can enjoy the joy and warmth of the holiday season, no matter what their financial situation is.
