As many know, Douglas and Betty Conner founded this incredible organization out of pure love for the children and the community. When they first started, they never kept track of the years because their hearts were fully dedicated to making a difference. Fast forward to 2024, and we just celebrated our 19th Annual Toy Drive. However, we’ve always known it’s been going for more years. After recalculating based on this article, we are thrilled to announce that instead of next year being Year 20, it will be Year 23!! This realization brings a huge smile to our faces and is the perfect way to kick off the new year! It’s such an honor to continue their legacy.

19th Annual Toy Drive highlights!
A Heartfelt Thank You from Branches of Community Services
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to every sponsor, donor, volunteer, and individual who played a part in making our 19th Annual Toy Drive a tremendous success! We are deeply honored to continue the legacy of Betty & Douglas Conner, whose commitment to our community continues to inspire and guide our efforts.
It takes hard work, dedication, and a shared vision to fulfill our mission. Our passion for giving back fuels our work, and we could not have achieved this without the unwavering support of so many wonderful people. From the incredible volunteers who wrapped hundreds of gifts to the businesses who graciously allowed us to place donation bins, and the generous donors who gave so selflessly—each contribution made a real difference. Together, we made it happen!
This year was especially remarkable, as we continue to grow and expand our impact year after year. We are grateful to all who made this event so successful, and we want to offer a special thank you to Mr. Moffett & Pittsburg Youth Development Center and Mr. Johnson, whose generosity in providing space for the drive was instrumental in its success.
