**BLM Employees Host Toy Giveaway for Local Children**

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is excited to announce its third annual employee-sponsored toy giveaway, set to take place on December 10 at the La Posa South Long-Term Visitor Area ramada from 2-5 p.m. All are welcome to attend; however, children must be present to receive a gift.

BLM employees from both the Arizona Colorado River District and the California Needles Field Office have collected new toys, which will be wrapped and presented to local children in need. This toy drive is part of an ongoing effort by BLM staff to give back to the community and spread holiday cheer.

“We’re grateful for the generosity of our employees and the chance to bring smiles to children’s faces this holiday season,” said contact representative Annie Hope.
