“We’re thrilled to host the 5th Annual K. Miller Christmas Toy Giveaway,” said Kidada Miller, founder of the event. “This is a time of year when community and compassion come together, and it’s our mission to ensure that every child has a gift to open on Christmas morning. As an only child for 12 years who had more than what I needed, it’s truly a blessing to see the joy on the children’s faces when we give back.”
