Is that all Christmas is about? Well, Emerald Desert RV Resort guests made sure that presents were at least part of the equation this holiday. Christmas is about making spirits bright, and donating gifts to children in need can put smiles on the gift givers as well as the receivers. Emerald Desert did just that when they joined local community efforts this year for the 19th Annual Spark of Love Toy Drive.
The drive is put on by ABC 7 and the Palm Desert Fire Department. Each local Palm Desert fire station, in addition to housing brave firefighters, is a drop-off spot for toys each December. In their maiden toy drive voyage, Emerald Village collected over 50 toys from resort guests and their efforts didn’t cease there. At Hollywood Nights, a resort special event, resort photographer, Alfonso Murray took an printed photos of guests and all gratuities went towards purchasing more toys for the drive.
The joy of giving was abundant at Emerald Desert this Christmas. Michelle Graham, Emerald Desert’s Event Coordinator and organizer of the resort donations, was pleased with the guests’ willingness to participate.
“This was Emerald Desert’s first year involved with the Spark of Love Toy Drive. We look forward to growing next year and in the years to come.” says Graham
The donated toys were collected by Fire Chief Rios on December 15, 2011. See photos below:
