WHAT: On Wednesday, December 155h at 9:30 a.m., a caravan of U.S. Postal Service (USPS) trucks driven by Santa himself will make its annual holiday special delivery of toys to the San Fernando Valley and Chatsworth offices of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). This tradition was started 14 years ago by Santa Clarita Postmaster Bob Swanson and provides 2,000 specially requested toys for foster youth purchased by postal workers from 21 U.S. Postal Service offices in Santa Clarita and from the San Gabriel and San Fernando Valley area. The toys are purchased by the USPS workers with their own money. The toy train is met by cheering DCFS social workers and staff, who after unloading the trucks, reward the postal workers with breakfast. The toys, identified with the children's names, will be distributed to the youth by social workers.
