On a frosty Kentucky morning, a group of Fort Knox volunteers gathered for a great cause, to fill the local Santa’s Workshop with toys for children. U.S. Army Human Resources Command Headquarters and Headquarters Company leaders organized a 1.1-mile toy ruck march to Santa’s Workshop at the local Red Cross on Fort Knox, Dec. 1.
"Thank you all for being available for the children and families of Fort Knox. Once we step off, we will march down about 1.2miles to the Warrior Warehouse, deliver the presents for children who otherwise may not have or families in need,” said 1st Sgt. Alikeisha Waters, HHC 1st Sgt.
The ruck march started outside the HRC headquarters building, where more than 40 participants gathered from both HRC and Fort Knox Garrison. Volunteers dressed in their festive holiday best and even brought Family members and pets along for the walk. Once at the warehouse, each volunteer dropped their presents in large bins where they will be organized by age and prepared for the holiday season.
