Plenty International is gathering toys for the children of Isle de Jean Charles for a Christmas Toy Giveaway Parade. Families on the island have been hit hard over the last few years by hurricanes and the oil spill, and this Sunday a crew of volunteers will bring cheer, gifts, comfort, and food to many tribal families during the parade led by Chief Albert of the Biloxi-Chitimacha-Choctaw.
If you’d like to donate toys to children of the island (0-18 years), please let us know at info@cottagefilms.com, or you can contact Elaine Langley (who is organizing the parade) at elaineml@bellsouth.net. Elaine needs all toys by this Sunday, Dec. 19.
