Over this past weekend Los Bomberos of Northern California, members of the San Jose Fire Department, Local 230 and the community got together to make sure that less fortunate children will have a great Christmas. On Friday the annual Holiday tradition of the Toy Wrap continued. This year over 600 families will benefit from the volunteer's efforts. Santa Clause, aka "Spanish Clause" (Martin Mora) was also on hand to receive the children's hopes for Christmas morning. Albert Hernandez serves as the project coordinator and has plenty of help from Mike Del Bando, the Bombero organization and friends and family of the SJFD. On Saturday Julian Molloy recruited another group of SJFD volunteers who built hundreds of bicycles to give away to families that would not otherwise have this opportunity.
The true spirit of the Holiday Season continues to be seen in the giving hearts of our fire department family. Their efforts have assured that over 1000 kids will have the thrill of waking up Christmas morning to presents under the tree.
