Toys, toys, toys! Richmond Sheriff Antionette V. Irving talks with youngsters at the “No Child Without a Toy” event last Friday at Woodville Elementary School in the East End. The city Sheriff’s Office is partnering with St. Paul’s Baptist Church and AFOI, Assisting Families of Inmates, to ensure that youngsters have gifts during this holiday season. The youngsters in AFOI’s “Milk and Cookies” mentoring program enjoyed face painting, decorating ornaments and other activities before the toys were distributed. The mentoring program is active in several Richmond elementary schools, including Woodville, Chimborazo and Swansboro. (Regina H. Boone/Richmond Free Press)
