EDITOR’S NOTE
: A previous version of this story misidentified the event for residents at Alazan Apache Courts as a “toy drive” and, based on information from SAHA, included an incorrect tally of how many presents and children were included. After further reporting, these errors have been updated.
In a true display of the holiday spirit, the collective generosity of San Antonio residents on Sunday far outweighed the greed of thieves who looted a toy distribution event for needy children.
