MARTIN CO., Fla. \u2014 The Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County have an event coming up on Thursday, Dec 18th, and they’re inviting the entire community to get involved. <\/p>\n

Meg Shirey of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County spoke to WPTV Anchor Ashley Glass at a recent Let’s Hear It event on how “Operation Merry & Bright” impacts the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s magic of the holiday season and that\u2019s not just purchasing the presents or making the donation,” Shirey said. “It\u2019s watching the children when you get to open the presents.”<\/p>\n

“Operation Merry & Bright” is an all-day gift-wrapping and food-boxing event that benefits families in need. They expect to wrap well over 1,000 toys this year. <\/p>\n

There are multiple ways to get involved, like volunteering at the all-day event or giving financially. <\/p>\n
