Entrepreneurs gather in Broward County to buy thousands of toys to deliver to Kids in Distress for holidays

MIRAMAR, Fla. ā€“ The holiday season is all about giving and on Friday, a group of people from across the country decided to do just that in Broward County.

The group, a network of entrepreneurs called Recession Proof, bought thousands and thousands of toys that they plan to deliver to Kids in Distress as a way to give back.

Entrepreneurs from South Florida, Georgia, even as far away as California, showed up at a Walmart, just off University Drive in Miramar, filled up carts and packed a truck that will then drive to the non-profit ā€œKids In Distressā€ to make the big donation.

ā€œWe just want to make sure weā€™re able to give back to people, people who are really in need right now as much as we can because everyone needs help,ā€ Bjorn Hendricks of the Recession Proof Network said. ā€œI wish that I had the help I want to give to others. I wish I had that coming up, especially for little kids.ā€
