November 4, 2024 - It looks and feels like Fall, but behind the scenes Santa’s Helpers are hard at work delivering toys to the Friends of Coal Ladies Auxiliary for the Giving Hearts Christmas Celebration! This special delivery was arranged and coordinated by Mr. Steve Walker, National FOP State Trustee, Past President of the WV FOP and Chief Deputy for Kanawha City Sheriff’s Department, Mr. Daren McNeil, WV FOP President and Chief of Police of Barboursville, WV and Mr. Dave Gentry, WV FOP State Executive Board Member and FOCLA Supporter. Since Santa’s sleigh was in the shop being prepped for Christmas, the City of Barboursville graciously donated a van. Mr. Walker and Mr. McNeil drove the van from Barboursville, WV to Chester, PA and back to Mabscott, WV in a single day. These toys will be distributed to area children through the Giving Hearts Program which provides food, clothing, and toys to over 500 families in need including military families. The amazing and talented young men from the WVU Institute of Technology Baseball Team, Hunter Fansler, Braydon McClung, Noah Lukes, and Braedon Pakkala, volunteered their time to unload the toys when they arrived. The FOCLA is extremely grateful to our FOP partners who have donated toys to area children for the last 10 years. Their generous contributions will ensure a very Merry Christmas for hundreds of families in our community. Donations are still being accepted to support this important program. You can contact Friends of Coal Ladies Auxiliary, PO Box 1109, Beckley, WV 25802 or visit our website www.friendsofcoalladies.com.
