Distributed is expected to take place between Dec.15 – Dec. 21.
Last year the program reported helping more than 2,700 families and provided toys to more than 5,900 children.
“Christmas is such an important time in the growth of a child. We have seen that having a toy to open on Christmas morning can improve a child’s self-esteem and how they do in school and interact with friends,” said Captain Joel Ashcraft, Divisional Secretary of Greater Cleveland Area Services, in a press release.

Cleveland Browns QB Dillon Gabriel Given Brutal Future Outlook

The Cleveland Browns ultimately selected two quarterbacks in the NFL Draft last month, nabbing Dillon Gabriel in the third round and circling back around to snatch Shedeur Sanders in Round 5.
Sanders is obviously the bigger name of the two, and the general consensus is that he profiles to be the better NFL signal-caller than Gabriel.
There doesn’t seem to be a ton of hope for Gabriel as a legitimate starter on the professional level, and former NFL general manager Scot McCloughan — who feels that Sanders could be the best quarterback of this year’s draft class — feels that Gabriel will be a lifetime backup.
“I see him as a No. 2 for life. At best,” McCloughan said on 92.3 The Fan. “And in the third round, that’s fine. … I see him as a really good college quarterback. I see him as an average NFL quarterback.”
McCloughan is certainly not alone in that assessment, as many have cited Gabriel’s lack of size and pedestrian arm strength as reasons for why he will not be successful in the pros.
The University of Oregon product — who actually began his collegiate career at Central Florida and also spent two years at Oklahoma — did finish third in Heisman Trophy last season, throwing for 3,857 yards, 30 touchdowns and six interceptions while completing 72.9 percent of his passes, but even with that stat line, most had him pegged as a Day 3 pick, if not going undrafted entirely.
With a crowded Browns quarterback room that also features Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett, it would probably take a monumental training camp and preseason for Gabriel to earn any sort of significant playing time during his rookie campaign.

New 'Superman' movie poster showcases Cleveland's skyline
CLEVELAND — It’s well known now that the backdrop for the new “Superman” movie is Cleveland, but The Land is getting even more exposure with the film’s new movie poster.
Shortly after the trailer for the movie dropped this week, director James Gunn shared a new poster on X, thanking the city for being part of the film.
The poster features Superman, played by David Corenswet, and his dog, Krypto, overlooking the Cleveland skyline with the Cuyahoga River below.
Last summer, the city was buzzing as the cast and crew filmed the movie throughout the area. Cleveland looked a whole lot like Hollywood as filming ensued, including Superior Avenue turning into Concord Street in Metropolis, where Superman and Lois Lane work at The Daily Planet.
Though, the movie and the poster is almost an ode to the original creators of “Superman.” The character was created by Glenville High School students Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in the 30s, according to Case Western Reserve University.
The rest of the world can enjoy the film and sights of Cleveland when “Superman” premiers July 11.
