AS a means of spreading Christmas cheer in the community, Hearts of Toti handed out gifts and food hampers to families in need.
Every year the non-profit organisation tries to gift children within the community, whose parents are struggling financially. They hand out Christmas gifts, party packs filled with goodies, cupcakes and cooldrinks. For many children, this will be the only gift they receive.
