(L to R) Angela Crow, Chiara Agness and Natalie Hiestand, sort through donated toys that were collected up by the Gig Harbor Chamber of Commerce during a recent holiday gala and gifted to Santa's Castle, a nonprofit organization located on Joint Base Lewis-McChord that provides Christmas gifts to military families (primarily E-4 and below) who are experiencing financial hardship. Crow, Agness and Hiestand are all Santa's Castle volunteers that work year-round collecting donations of new toys, books, games, bicycles, stocking stuffers, coloring books, and crayons which they distribute to families in need during the two weeks immediately following Thanksgiving.
