Joseph Rutledge, center, hands a package to Mayor Leonard Desiderio, while Rich Seib takes a present off the gift cart during the 2023 toy and food drive.
For more than three decades, Mayor Leonard Desiderio’s annual Holiday Toy & Food Drive has brought Christmas cheer to families in need – and 2024 will be no exception.
The toys, non-perishable food, gift cards and other items that were collected during this year’s Toy & Food Drive show the generous nature of the people of Sea Isle City.
Each of the donated items will be loaded on delivery trucks Dec. 23 by Mayor Desiderio and his helpful band of “Elves.”
