I just want to give a huge shoutout to the people going around giving away toys this Xmas was very hard for us as we recently moved into a new home 2 days ago and I used every single dollar to get into the apartment so I was super stressed about presents for my kids BUT THEN THE TOY TRUCKS CAME AROUND AND MY KIDS WERE ABLE TO GET A PRESENT AND JUST TO SEE THE SMILE ON THERE FACES BECAUSE OF YOU GUYS THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️

First time staying home with the grandkids to enjoy Christmas Cops and kids, on the receiving end ❤️🎁🚔👮‍♂️ Usually we deliver. I really enjoyed it! Thank you so much to EVERYONE who helps pull this off for the Community! Missing our friend Tim Heiden but grateful for his legacy 🙏

I love Barstow for real. I’ve never experienced anything like this. What a blessing for my autistic twins and my grandson. God Bless all those involved..

I do want to say thank you to the community for putting on a great thing for the kids, especially the ones who really need it! #barstowisgreat

Thank you!!!! My daughter got a skateboard and now she's so excited!!! She's been watching skateboarding videos all morning since I let her ride hers a little bit after getting it. She got a little penny board from it last year that we had to leave behind in a move and has been talking about a skateboard ever since!!!
