THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, 2021 Page 19 DiDomenico Foundation raises more than $23K for annual Toy Drive FROM PAGE 10 children in our communities. This year we filled four U-Haul trucks! We are grateful for the tremendous outpouring of support and for our amazing group of friends who volunteer each year.” The Foundation’s Toy Drive is one of the largest of its kind in the area, and it is supported by countless members of the community: from small business owners to the Kowloon, which hosted the event; Everett Hardware and U-Haul Boston, for the trucks to transport the toys; radio personality Hank Morse; entertainment guru Fred Balboni; and so many people in the community who contributed to the success of this event.
