Expected to be present at the event are Barger, who represents the fifth district on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors; Bobby Cagle, director of the Department of Children and Family Services; and a number of L.A. County Firefighters and Explorers, who will be distributing the gifts.
“This will be Barger’s first year hosting the event; however, this event has been going on for the last 20 years,” said Tony Bell, spokesperson for Barger’s office.
The foster youth and their caregivers are invited to attend from all over Los Angeles County, according to Bell.
“Children under the age of 13 will normally get anything from Legos, games, educational materials, etc.,” he said. “The older youth will typically get gift cards.”
