In St. Landry Parish, former State Senator Elbert Guillory and his family spend every Christmas hosting a toy drive, its a tradition that began 28 years ago.

Guillory says they will continue to collect toys until Christmas at his office on East Landry Street in Opelousas. 

“This began after my daughters first Christmas.  She got so many gifts amd my wife and I wanted to teach her that its not all about receiving, but giving.”
