SANTA ANA, Calif. — Senator Thomas J. Umberg welcomed residents from across Senate District 34 to the annual Community Holiday Party & Toy Drive at the district office this week. The event brought neighbors together to celebrate the season, highlight local services and collect more than hundreds of toys for families in need.

“Bringing our community together each year is one of the true highlights of this job,” said Senator Umberg. “The generosity shown by our neighbors reminds us what public service is all about. I’m grateful to everyone who helped support families in need and strengthen our shared commitment to this district.”

Attendees were able to connect with district staff, learn about local services and ongoing initiatives in Senate District 34 and hear updates on state efforts heading into the new year. The Senator thanked district staff, community members, partner organizations and volunteers for helping make the event a success.
