Assemblymember hosts toy drive for local nonprofit

Hoping for toys

Assemblymember Marc Berman, whose 23rd district includes Campbell, recently hosted a holiday toy collection for children in need. From art supplies to puzzles to stuffed animals, Berman’s office received donations of new, unwrapped toys from community members.

The toys were delivered to Hope’s Corner, a nonprofit in Mountain View, for distribution to kids and families in the community who may need support this holiday season.

“We appreciate Assemblymember Berman and his team’s generosity,” said John Riemenschnitter, board president of Hope’s Corner, in a release. “The toys he collected—and personally delivered—will help brighten the season and bring joy to the children of 250 families in our community.”
