Adrienne Browning, Founder & President of The Re:JOY Project along with her Office Manager, Judy Pozzi, brought Christmas magic to the Washington students and their families by donating toys. Adrienne and her team takes donations for new toys and also brings life back to gently used toys so they can continue to bring smiles. Over the last two years of our partnership, this same team has also donated over 100 costumes. Their generosity will help over 40 families and we are so grateful!
