The Solidarity Point will remain in the great Tree until Sunday
The collection of toys began on Friday, December 13, at the foot of the great Christmas Tree, where the little ones who have delivered their toys have been presented with chocolate coins.
The Solidarity Point, guarded by the Royal Page, will remain open until Sunday morning.
The Great Christmas Tree of the Circular Square has welcomed different solidarity initiatives, such as the collection of toys held last Sunday by Regional Wave, in which all proceeds were also allocated to the aforementioned associations.
In this context, the City of Murcia highlights and appreciates the important work of the people and groups that work every year so that no child is left without their gift from Reyes, as well as the great work they do throughout the year, protecting the child vulnerable.
The free workshops of the Christmas Tree of Murcia will last until Sunday, from 11.30 to 14 hours.
