Tis’ the season to be jolly! Choka Lyme’s 3rd Annual Second Chance Toys collection was a great success. The SCO Family Services located in Sea Cliff, New York welcomed the donation of toys with open arms as the volunteers brought their collection of gently used plastic toys to their need. Choka Lyme’s mission statement reads, “Simple people doing simple things in a big way”, and that certainly proved to be true this holiday season.
