Boys and Girls Clubs of Kentuckiana wraps Christmas presents for kids

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Boys & Girls Club of Kentuckiana got to wrapping to make sure children have a bright Christmas.

The Boys & Girls Club partnered with the Optimist Club of Louisville and Toys for Tots for their holiday wrapping party Sunday morning.

Volunteers, staff, board members and friends spent three hours at the Shawnee Boys & Girls Club location to wrap up gifts for kids who otherwise might not have any.

"This is just a big boost for their Christmas. Some of them may not get very many presents at home. So with getting a bag full of presents from the Boys and Girls Club, the Optimus Club and Toys for Tots that just makes it a very special Christmas for the kids," said Tina Hood, development coordinator.

Children will receive the gifts at their club location's Christmas parties later this month.
