CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas \u2014 A local Westside business is helping make the holidays brighter for families in need by giving back to the community it serves.<\/p>\n
Total Wireless, which opened just six months ago, hosted a holiday community event on Sunday, offering free toys, food for families and festive photo opportunities with Santa Claus and the Grinch.<\/p>\n
Neighbors lined up for toy giveaways while enjoying nachos and Hot Cheetos with cheese. Vendors were also set up outside the store, creating a welcoming atmosphere for neighbors to gather and celebrate the season.<\/p>\n
The event was promoted on social media, and organizers said the strong turnout showed just how much the support was needed in the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what prompted us to come,\u201d said Monica Munoz, a parent who attended the event. \u201cAnytime a local business like this supports the kids and gives them toys, we\u2019re going to get up and come. So here we are.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to the toy giveaway, Total Wireless is also hosting a raffle with multiple prizes. Five winners will receive bundles that include a TCL phone and tablet, along with one grand prize winner receiving either an iPhone 13 or iPhone 14.<\/p>\n
Winners will be announced Sunday night at the Total Wireless store, located at 4035 Ayers Street and live on their Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n Organizers said the goal of the event goes beyond gifts and prizes, it\u2019s about creating a space where families feel welcomed, supported and valued during the holiday season.<\/p>\n For the latest local news updates, click here<\/a>, or download the KRIS 6 News App.<\/a>
