December's Season Of Celebration & Sharing, Toys For Tots, Huntsville Alabama, 35806

I've shared a couple of posts recently about the Providence Cafe, a new restaurant and coffee shop here in the Village of Providence. For quite some time now they've had a collection box for Toys For Tots and I've watched that box go unfilled for weeks and decided to do something about that by delivering a few unwrapped presents to an otherwise empty box in hopes that other patrons would follow suit and fill the box to the top. Unfortunately that hasn't happened yet, but there's still time to pick up a gift for a child, who might not find anything under the tree this Christmas. If you live in the Madison or Huntsville Alabama area, why not stop by with a gift for a child...lets fill this box to the top...there's still time.

The Providence Cafe is located at 445 Providence Main St. NW #102, Huntsville, Alabama 35806 and their phone number is (256)429-9388. I know that everyone there will be excited to see patrons bring in gifts to fill up the box.

Good evening, Nick. This post was forwarded to me. Yes, the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program is great. Hopefully, that box will be filled by the end of the day...

Good Job Nick! We had the same issue with our box, but all of a sudden, it was overflowing.... Hope you have the same problem! You are awesome, and the children that receive those gifts from you will appreciate it (so will their parents). I'll post this to my FB page, maybe it will encourage some of my friends and family back home to head over to Providence Cafe and fill that box up!

Craig-thanks, much appreciated and thanks for having some of your "Buds" stop by and pay me a visit.

Kerrie-I may be Jolly, but I ain't no Saint ;]

Jane-I think that's very cool and generous that some folks are paying off lay away bills for others...I guess there's still a few good people out there.

Michael-I'll be stopping by the Cafe tomorrow to see how they did...looked a little sad when I was there earlier.

Endre-thanks, I think there are a lot of people out there giving as much as they can...unfortunately some kids still won't get anything.

Crystal Coast Amy-nice to see ya!! Thanks for posting this to your FB page. Thanks, but that is a bit of a drive for your family...especially with all this holiday traffic...besides I think the box will be gone tomorrow.

Dawn-hey buddy...see my comment to Kerrie.

Frank & Karen-thank you so much for your kind words and stopping by...oh yes...see my comment to Kerrie.

Roger-I may have started that ball rolling just a little late...that box was empty for so long.

Talk about the spirit of giving! My friend #NickPappas #Realtor #HuntsvilleAL is the opitomy of the Holiday spirit!

Nick, that was such a very good thing you did for Toys for Tots! It shows the kind spirit of who you are. I'm wondering if each of us tweeted a little bit, stole your short url and perhaps did a reblog to localism,... if that may help? Just a thought. I wish you all the best my friend!

Nick, a great thought on the part of the owners of the ProvidenceCafe coffee shop in Huntsville, Alabama, and especially on your part. May the neighbors of that Cafe recognize the good and help them as well.

Hey Nick! Fantastic Idea. Will have to reblog to get the word out to get this box filled up in time for some great kids who need something under the Christmas Tree. Amazing what we can do when we work together! I am going to send this over to Charita Cadenhead over in Birmingham AL as well! Lots of luck getting these boxes filled Nick!

Nick - I have lots of folks in Huntsville.... You never know! If not, the toys that you provided will still make a big difference in lives of children. And.... All the people that were at Providence Cafe Yesterday, may just drop off their goodies today..... Good Luck and Thanks again for your effort! I have visions of a full box dancing in my head......

Roger-she sang this morning...when I went in the Providence Cafe for my morning third cup of coffee...the box was gone.

Ed-thanks...I'll be better prepared for this next year.

Brenda-thanks for the effort and I know Charita will do what she can...next year I'll get started earlier.

Amy-very generous of you and your family, but the box is gone...I'm sure if any toys show up we can still get them to where they need to be. I've asked the girls at the Cafe to let me know if anything comes in late.

Andrea-there were a few more donations, but the box wasn't overflowing...I'll see that it is next year.

Jackie-good for you...and next year will be a huge success.

Charita-I wish you were nearer too, but then who would I send the Birmingham referrals to in your area :))

I want to thank everyone for stopping by and hope you all have a great holiday.

What a wonderful thing you did Nick. Just because the box was gone doesn't mean more toys weren't added. You truly are a wonderful person. Cheers - I hope you had a wonderful holiday!
