  ?Gifts In Kind is thrilled to receive these Scentsy toy donations to distribute to our large network of nonprofits that serve families in need,? said Cindy Hallberlin, CEO and president of Gifts In Kind International. ?The toys will brighten the lives of many children whose families may be struggling over the holiday season.?
