Interstate Delivers Toys For Tots In Barry Farm

Early Christmas Eve morning, a team of Interstate staff headed down to Washington, D.C., dressed up as Santa and his elves. Going door-to-door to over 89 families with gifts in hand, Santa woke the children in the neighborhood with his loud and distinct “Ho Ho Ho’s.” Despite the torrential downpour of rain, Santa and his elves pressed on, making it to 89 homes and bringing smiles to over 500 children’s faces.

“It’s so heartwarming to see the children’s faces light up when they see Santa…and then the presents,” says Interstate driver Preston Charles, who dressed up as Santa. “This is the seventh year I have participated in this event, and I truly look forward to it each and every year.”

“I was born and raised in this community many years ago, and being able to give back is tremendously satisfying for my family and I,” announced Interstate President Buddy Morrissette at the conclusion of the morning’s events.
