The sentiment is simple: Every child deserves to have a gift for Christmas.

Santa Claus arrived just in time to give out presents to nearly 300 boys and girls at the Sedona Community Food Bank on Monday, Dec. 23. He was there as part of the food bank’s annual Toys For Tots present giveaway.

Parents began signing their children up to receive toys a few weeks ago. They were asked to include their name as well as the age and sex of the child. The children then had at least one present waiting for them when they saw Santa.
