Employee Volunteers Spread Holiday Cheer

Approximately 30 Entergy employees volunteered to help Santa gift toys to more than 4,000 kids at the annual The Times-Picayune Doll and Toy Fund Gift Giving Event Dec. 21 in New Orleans. 

Celebrating its 124th year, The Times-Picayune Doll and Toy Fund welcomes Christmas early for families in need throughout the New Orleans area. Entergy has been a lead sponsor of the fund since 2016. 

Nearly 4,000 children, aged 12 and under, received toys at the 2019 event. Each kid got to pick two toys and received age-appropriate books, pencils and snacks.  

Our employees volunteer and give back all year round, but the holidays are a special time. That’s when our volunteer efforts go into high gear – from buying coats for kids in need to feeding the homeless to adopting families for the holidays.

Executive Vice President and General Counsel Marcus Brown hands out toys at the 124th The Times-Picayune Doll and Toy Fund Gift Giving Event.
