Dade County Federal Credit Union (DCFCU) is proud to announce its Holiday Toy Caravan, a festive initiative delivering joy and gifts to children across three local  elementary schools: Kinlock Park Elementary, Toussaint Louverture Elementary, and Miami Gardens Elementary. Each student at these schools will receive a brand-new toy— totaling over 5,000 toys donated.

The caravan will kick off at 8:00 AM from DCFCU’s Main Headquarters at 1500 NW 107  Avenue, Sweetwater, FL 33172, accompanied by police escorts for a safe and celebratory  journey to the first stop at Miami Gardens Elementary. Joining the caravan will be DCFCU’s  Mobile Branch, along with Santa and Mrs. Claus, ready to bring holiday magic to every  child.

This initiative is made possible through the generous support of DCFCU members and 13  community partners, who have worked diligently throughout the year to collect and  donate toys. All toys are brand new and ready to brighten the holiday season for local  families.

“We love our community, we care for our community, and we serve our community,”  said Federica Chalumeau, Chief Experience Officer. “This caravan is a reflection of  that commitment—bringing joy and hope to thousands of children during the  holidays.” 

George Joseph, President and CEO of DCFCU, added: “For over 85 years, we have  proudly served our community, and we are honored to call this our third annual toy  drive. It’s a tradition that truly embodies the spirit of giving and the values we stand  for.” 

After the first stop at Kinlock Park Elementary, the caravan will continue to Toussaint  Louverture Elementary and then Miami Gardens Elementary, where DCFCU staff,  community partners, and Santa and Mrs. Claus will personally distribute toys to every  child.
