Lima, OH (WLIO) - There were more than presents being handed out at a Breakfast with Santa event Saturday morning. The organization, Daddys at Work brought families over to their new home at Forest Park United Methodist Church. Thanks to a group of sponsors, the kids were able to have some pancakes and sausage, talk with Santa, and pick out a toy to take home. This is Daddys at Work first event at Forest Park, which shares the same mission of putting kids first. But thanks to the collaboration with businesses, the kids were not the only ones to walk away with something new.
“This is exactly what Daddys at Work is supposed to stand for,” says T.J. Smith, Founder of Daddys at Work. “We bring the businesses in, we bring the people in, people are looking for jobs, businesses are hiring. It is a great opportunity to mix and mingle with parents. A couple actually got job interviews today as they picked out gifts. It was a great opportunity to put two different groups, that normally don’t get to see each other in the same room.”
The kids’ names were also entered into a drawing to take home a bicycle for Christmas.
