Gifts piled high at Charbonneau Country Club as residents donated more than $ 400 in gift cards and several bags of toys , clothes and games to children in need .
The volunteer-run nonprofit organization Compassion in Action Clackamas County / Toy & Joy connects families who are eligible for services with members of the community , service organizations and companies providing holiday food boxes and toys .
And Charbonneau residents have been donating to Compassion in Action for the last five years .
“ We have boxes and bags . We probably have maybe about 50 different types of toys here and it could be more because they ’ re all in bags ,” CCC Property Manager Rick Schram said . “ It ’ s just overwhelming ; it ’ s so nice .”
Residents were invited to bring unwrapped gifts to the country club for any age up to 18 .
Rick delivered the gifts to the nonprofit in Oregon City in time for the items to be distributed prior to Christmas .
Volunteers at the nonprofit then sorted through the items for families .
The nonprofit organization and its community partners help thousands of children and their families every year .
“ It just fills the back of my car up with the games , toys , clothes , whatever ,” Rick said . “ Charbonneau residents are amazing . There ’ s so much they do for the community and other people , and put themselves second . So it ’ s quite amazing .”
