Stuffed animals, made with love by elementary school kids in the Little Villagers after school program, will be given to children served by Illumination Foundation.
ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. - Californer -- Elementary school kids in the Little Villagers after school program at various schools throughout Orange County made over 40 stuffed animals for children served by Illumination Foundation in support of their holiday toy drive.
The kids stuffed each plush toy with cotton fiberfill and a gold star with a special wish for the child receiving the stuffed animal. Each animal was dressed in a cute outfit and comes with a birth certificate with their name, birthdate and place of birth. "The kids were so excited to make these stuffed animals for children in need. It warms the heart to see kids giving to kids and it is a beautiful way to celebrate the holiday season", said Little Villagers co-founder Kristine Darroch.
Children aged 4 to 12 participated in the project as part of Little Villagers after school programs at Renascence International School in Costa Mesa, Our Lady of Fatima Academy in San Clemente, St. Bonaventure School in Huntington Beach and St. Junipero Serra School in Rancho Santa Margarita.

Each stuffed animal was placed in a gift bag decorated by the kids in the program, and delivered to Illumination Foundation on December 9, 2019.
