Toys for Kids The Imperial Court’s annual toy drive is
the oldest holiday toy drive in the LGBT com- munity and was established in 1974 after the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation refused to accept donations. From the time of its incep- tion, the Toys for Kids program has brought holiday cheer to thousands of children throughout San Diego County and Mexico.
Blankets of Love This annual winter blanket drive, happen-
ing through Sunday, December 15, was started many years ago after a report sur- faced saying that many deaths among young children and elderly people in Tijuana were directly attributed to the cold winter months. Currently, the blanket drive distributes donated blankets not only in Mexico, but also to local homeless and veteran shelters throughout the San Diego area.
