Chairman of the Holiday Toy Program, Gary Cooper, headed up a team of veterans who began decorating the San Quentin visiting area on Dec. 5.
They expected to be finished on Dec. 12, just in time for the first day of gift giving.
The program was manned by these veteran members of the VGSQ: Stan Baer, Lawson Beavers, Larry Faison, James Foster, Dennis Lacrosse, Tedrick Sims and Cooper.
Also assisting in the gifting during weekends which began Dec. 13 and ended on Christmas day were Terry and Gloria Godchaux from Operation MOMS and Jlynn Manley, the webmaster for the VGSQ.
All children of San Quentin inmates who are under the age of 14 are eligible to receive two gifts per visit.
Steve Emrick and Heather Entzel picked up the toys and brought them into San Quentin.
The United States Marine Corps provided the toys for the Toys for Tots program,
VGSQ has been doing the holiday toy program for 27 years.
