Grinch gives toys to kids in need

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) — In a shocking turn of Christmas-related events, the Grinch actually gaveĀ out toys to kids in need. This was made possible with Toys for Tots and Camp Hayden, a non-profit organization that helps give kids with special needs and their families fun, ā€œunforgettable experiences.ā€

Camp Hayden's CEO, Jason Chapa, played the Grinch and helped Santa give the families a Merry Christmas. They gave toys to about 30 families in need, as well as needed cash.

ā€œIt depends on how much they needed, but we're giving them a hundred or hundreds. Our budget was pretty much $3,000,ā€ Chapa said.

Chapa thanked everyone who helps make this event happen each year.
