Sampson Center director Tim Boykin and his team wrapped hundreds of gifts this past Christmas, including big wheels, bikes, baby dolls, trucks, board games, watches and numerous other presents. On Dec. 22, 279 children lined up to participate in the center’s gift program, which benefited from having received an incredible $5,000 in donations from last year’s program to be used toward this year. ‘We look forward to doing this every year. I think the program is always a tremendous success and is needed for those less fortunate during the holiday season,’ said Boykin. ‘We get a lot of help from recreation staff and volunteers in the community to make this happen. I am extremely grateful for their help. They truly helped make Christmas merry for many people.’
