Employees of Marion County Fire Rescue donated Christmas gifts to 105 children as part of the Guardian ad Litem program through the Fifth Judicial Circuit Court.

The presents were dropped off at the donation office on Monday and will be distributed through foster families in Marion County through the coming week.

The Fifth Circuit Florida Guardian ad Litem program allows for judges to appoint volunteers to advocate for neglected children in the social service system throughout Marion, Sumter, Lake, Citrus and Hernando counties.
