The initiative, now in its sixteenth edition, took place at the Mercado de As Travesas in Vigo. The regional representative highlighted the solidarity of Vigo's citizens, which has already enabled the distribution of over 180,000 toys over the years.
During the event, Ana Ortiz was accompanied by the vice-president of the Provincial Council of Pontevedra, Luisa Sánchez, and the initiative's organizer, Carlos Leiro. The delegate congratulated the campaign's promoters and thanked the collaboration of private entities and volunteers.
The collection of gifts will begin this week and conclude in the first days of January, when the distribution will take place. "We have to ensure that all children smile this Christmas because their joy will be ours, and for that reason, I would also like to ask all the people of Vigo to participate and donate," stated Ortiz.
In last year's 2025 edition, over 25,000 toys were collected, bringing the total number of donated gifts over the editions to more than 180,000, in collaboration with over a hundred associations and groups from Galicia.
