The festival was coordinated by District Attorney Joseph L. Waitz Jr., Terrebonne Parish Sheriff Tim Soignet, Former Councilwoman Arlanda J. Williams, The Marines Corps League Toys for Tots Program, Parish President Gordan E. Dove, NSN Louisiana, the EPHD-SU Cohorts, and Kappa Alpha PSI
District D Councilwoman Jessica Domangue said this year’s festival is extra special due to the many hardships the community has faced. “ This year, the toy drive is so much more special, especially due to everything the children in this community have experienced. Starting with Covid, Hurricane Ida, losing their home, just living through the trauma”
“It’s important for us to give back, and for me personally it just makes this event so much more special,” Domangue added.
“Hopefully we can keep going, Every year the event is fantastic and I’m hoping this year goes the same way.” said Navy.
