The last weekend before Christmas highlights the needs and struggles that so many Bay Area families are facing this season.
Today in the North Bay, nonprofits were busy helping underserved families make their holiday a bit brighter.
Volunteers from North Marin Community Services in Novato were busy Saturday helping Santa, making some holiday dreams come true for hundreds of kids and their families."It's the 50th year for the nonprofit's 'Holiday Share' event, wish lists fulfilled with toys and lots of bikes."Yes, a great Christmas gift for me and my brothers, siblings and family," said Leo Rodriguez from Novato.
"This is one of the highest numbers we have served in 50 years -- 474 kids will be served today," said Stephanie Williams from North Marin Community Services."Inflation has hit a lot of families and people are still recovering from the pandemic, especially low-income families. It's taking them longer to recover," Williams said.
