Thanks to the generosity of residents, employees, and partners, we collected 3,309 pounds of food, with additional donations still being counted. A special thank you goes to residents who volunteered with pickups, sorting, and drop\u2011offs&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;your dedication ensured donations reached Interfaith quickly and supported households relying on monthly supplemental grocery assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From&nbsp;Monday,&nbsp;Nov.&nbsp;16&nbsp;through Tuesday, Dec. 1, residents may donate new, unwrapped toys for Toys for Tots at the following locations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leland Management Office (5575 SW 67th Ave Rd)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Master the Possibilities (8415 SW 80th St #2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sholom Park (7110 SW 80th Ave)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calesa Township Sales Center (6404 SW 78th Ct.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Top of the World Sales Center (8447 SW 99th St. Rd.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amenity Buildings: The Arbors, Recreation Center, The Lodge at Candler Hills, Indigo Community Center, Indigo Fitness Center, The Landing, The Summit, and Resident Services<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those&nbsp;wishing to participate in Operation Christmas Child may select items from the giving tree&nbsp;in the&nbsp;second-floor lobby at the Recreation Center.
