Turlock’s children need a miracle this holiday season.

For 15 years, a non-profit alliance of Turlock-based organizations called Turlock Together has helped Santa fill the space below Christmas trees in low-income Turlock residents’ homes.

The need is greater than ever before and time is ticking. About 6,000 new toys are needed this year. Thus far, Turlock Together only has 500. The alliance hopes to receive the rest within 21 calendar days, when the gifts will be collected and sorted for distribution.
