“We got a beanie chair and then we were all done so we came back and went to get bath bombs for my sister and got a present for my mom,” the eight-year-old says.Fawzi Ibrahim / Global NewsStory continues below advertisement “We volunteer to come in here to help the kids because we know there are lots of people who may not get everything they’re looking for, for Christmas,” MacLeod says. “It’s just a fantastic chance to help them out a little bit and give back to the community.”
Kids also received a $10 gift card so they could provide a present for a child the same age and pay the holiday experience forward.
