When Toy for Joy toys and books are distributed to children in the coming days, Team ROVI will be there.

As usual.

“We’ve done this for the last five years. This is my first year as more or less the supervisor, but I’ve been there every year as a volunteer, partaking in the distribution,” says Lauren Czarniecki, the ROVI director of training and operation.

“We’ve had good (weather) days, and we’ve had rainy or snowy days. But whatever the case, we’ll be there,” Czarniecki said.

Sponsored by the Salvation Army, Toy for Joy is in its 103rd year. Every year, deserving children of Hampden, Hampshire and Franklin counties are provided with toys, books and games they would otherwise not enjoy, through generous donations from local and regional individuals, families, groups and organizations.
