Hannah’s Treasure Chest is a non-profit located in Centerville that creates care packages of clothes, toys, books, and more essential items for children in need. The organization works with 70 community partners such as YMCA and Dayton Children’s Hospital. They have served over 4,000 children annually in the Dayton area.

“We remained open throughout the pandemic because children’s needs never stop and generous support like this when in-person fundraising isn’t an option means more children will receive the items they need to grow and thrive. That’s a home run in my book,” said Deanna Murphy, executive director at Hannah’s Treasure Chest in the release.
