Little Dealer Little Prices, a Campers Inn RV company with three Arizona stores, gifted more than 55,000 pounds of toys and books to local families during the third annual “Campers Inn Christmas Toy Giveaway.”
“Our first year we had a smaller Christmas toy giveaway, and we were overwhelmed by the number of children and families that showed up,” said Danny Sampson, Little Dealer Little Prices’ general manager.
Two tractor trailers were filled by community donations at the event, enabling 900 children and 355 adults to receive presents. Each child was able to pick one big toy and as many stocking stuffers, books and small toys as they could carry, the company said. The adults were given gifts and food.
Sampson said the children were grateful, as were their parents.
“Many parents told us that this would be the only real toy their kids were getting, due to financial reasons. That is when we realized we needed to expand,” he said. “We are blessed by the event as much as the kids are.”
The Prescott Valley police and fire departments and mayor also came out to help distribute gifts.
Due to the event’s success, Little Dealer Little Prices is now planning its largest annual charitable giving event, the Campers Inn RV Back-to-School Drive.
“Last year, 1,500 children and 600 adults benefited from the drive and we want to make the 2023 drive bigger than ever,” the company said.
