Lighthouse Toy Shoppe shares the joy of giving, receiving
Parents whose children might otherwise have no presents under the tree selected six free gifts for each child Saturday and had them wrapped at the annual Lighthouse Foundation Toy Shoppe.
Theresa Rodriguez, the foundation's Toy Shoppe coordinator, said nearly 200 families signed up this year to receive toys for 360 children.
Parents selected gifts for children age newborn to 12 from huge tables of toys sorted by age range inside Bakerstown Methodist United Church in Gibsonia.
Each child gets two large toys and four smaller gifts from the tables.
Parents of teenagers could pick three gift cards of $25 each from various businesses.
“They're hard to shop for,” Rodriguez said.
