Entergy Employees Distribute Toys, Spread Holiday Joy At The Times-Picayune Doll And Toy Fund Event


(MENAFN- 3BL) This holiday season, Entergy proudly sponsored the annual gift giveaway for The Times-Picayune Doll and Toy Fund in New Orleans, marking an impressive 130 years of spreading joy and generosity this holiday season. Our leadership team and employee volunteers came together to share warmth and happiness, handing out thousands of toys to children and families in need - an initiative Entergy has supported since 2016.

Each year, this charitable event draws large crowds who line up outside in the early morning hours, eager to participate. An estimated $120,000 is allocated to purchasing toys, thanks to the generosity of individual donors and sponsors, including Entergy, UPS, River Parish Disposal, Fox 8 News, Element, Fidelity Bank, Folgers, and The Times-Picayune. Approximately 100 volunteers generously gave their time to help ensure the event ran smoothly.

Hosted at Xavier University of Louisiana, more than 30 Entergy employees rolled up their sleeves to unbox and distribute gifts to families facing challenging circumstances across the New Orleans area.

As families gathered in the parking lot, the excitement and anticipation were palpable, with thousands eager to engage in this cherished annual celebration. Last year, the fund successfully distributed over 12,000 gifts throughout the metro area, and this year's event proved just as impactful.

At Entergy, our commitment to giving back extends well beyond the holiday season. Alongside our dedication to providing reliable power to our customers, we strive to make the communities we serve a little brighter through a variety of strategic initiatives.
