Independent Fire Co. of Belford is holding a Christmas party for the children of displaced families from Union Beach all the way to the Highlands.

They have invited approximately 250 children who will be getting toys from Santa, face painting, tatoos (washable), and so much more.

They have toy donations from as far north as Maine, and south down to the Carolina's.

Volunteers from our area have been wrapping gifts for over a week until the wee hours.

This event was the brain-child of two wonderful people who gave tirelessly: Jill Amato Topolewski and Kyle Bracken.

How do you possibly thank all these amazing people?
