This year, the HF staff members selected four low-income neighborhoods in the Central Florida area to give back to.

During the event, the teams delivered smiles in the form of toys and games to 300 children at community centers and local organizations.

These included the Christ the King Episcopal Church in Azalea Park, Orlando; Cobblestone Apartments; Marydia Community Center; and Justice Shall be for All in Kissimmee.
