Navigation Manatee Clerk’s Office donates nearly 400 gifts to children in foster care
The Manatee County Clerk’s Office donated nearly 400 toys and gifts during the month-long drive to benefit the Manatee County Foster and Adoptive Parents Association. “These kids deserve a holiday focused on just being kids,” Manatee Clerk Angel Colonneso said. “They deserve the same wide-eyed wonder and breathless anticipation every child feels waking up on Christmas morning.”
This December, the Manatee Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller is filling living rooms with holiday gifts for kids in foster care — “because every child deserves to wake up to something with their name on it.”
The the clerk’s office partnered with the Manatee County Foster and Adoptive Parents Association (FAPA), an organization dedicated to strengthening bonds between foster children and the families caring for them, to provide new, unwrapped toys and gifts for children ages 0-18.
