b. Presentation to Hillcrest Community - In November 2022, Hillcrest partnered with the\nLa Verne Fire Department (LVFD) for the 30th Anniversary of Spark of Love Toy Drive.\nHillcrest selflessly provided LVFD with much-needed storage for the many toys that were\ndonated this year, they also coordinated a dedicated and passionate team of volunteers to\nsort the many boxes of toys and bikes and create a system for distributing them to families in\nneed the week before Christmas. The toy drive is a big lift each year, and Hillcrest’s\npartnership was an incredible help during such a busy season. The La Verne Fire Department\nthanks Hillcrest for being such an amazing partner and helping to make Spark of Love Toy\nDrive such a great success! Dennis Smith, who also serves as a La Verne CERT Team Lead,\nwill be accepting certificate of Recognition on behalf of all the Hillcrest volunteers.
