On Dec. 18, Carson City Councilman Cedrick Hicks alongside more than 30 volunteers from an assortment of local faith based and community service organizations gave away toys to hundreds of families. Volunteers and attendees noted after such a grim year as we attempt exit the pandemic, joy is what’s most needed this holiday season.

The first 500 kids between the ages of 2 and12 received a toy.  Under a one toy per child policy, parents had to bring proof of residency and the child had to be present. Volunteers from Victory Outreach Church -Carson and the Compton-based nonprofit organization, Lyrical Revolution, founded by  World Class Wreckin’ Cru member and promoter, Lonzo Williams.
