A lot of happy kids over the weekend despite wind and pouring rain at the Touch A Truck event.
The fundraiser for First Steps Housing managed to raise over $12,000, with kids getting a chance to climb aboard big rigs, monster trucks and police vehicles. The kids could even sound the sirens and blow the horns.
First Steps is a transitional housing facility for pregnant youth and their infants who don’t have a safe place to live. Organizers say the event was so successful they plan on making it an annual fundraiser.
