Augusta business gives away toys despite delayed opening
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – An Augusta business gave away toys to kids in the community one night before Christmas Eve, despite not being able to open this holiday season.
Orange Hand Vintage gave away bikes and toys on Tuesday while helping to pay bills for some people in need.
Brandon Jackson, who is employed at Orange Hand Vintage, said the business went to Walmart to load up on more items.
“Then I went back to the list, and I scrolled through. And those that touched my heart are the ones that we ended up helping,” Jackson said. “We’re planning to still help some, depending on what it is that they’re asking for. We’re just trying to do as much as we can.”
The store is expecting to open in late January or early February.
