The Wright State community responded in a big way this holiday for the need to deliver presents to children that might not have otherwise received any gifts. Working with groups supporting families in Montgomery and Greene Counties the Wright State Community donated hundreds of dollars of goods. The pictures in this gallery capture some of the generous scenes and moments from those efforts.
