After the swap, remaining toys were donated to Renew: Breaking the Cycle of Domestic Violence, a Montezuma County nonprofit that helps survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo large boxes of high quality toys were donated to Renew, allowing Renew to offer their own \u2018Come Wrap A Christmas Gift!\u2019 event to shelter patrons,\u201d Bohm said.<\/p>\n<p>Participants were able to wrap gifts on site at the library. Each person could bring one box of toys and take an equivalent number in return. Donated items had to be clean, complete, functional and in excellent condition.<\/p>\n<p>The swap aimed to ease holiday financial pressure for families.
