• Scrooge Steals From Catholic Charities Toy Giveaway in Santa Maria (noozhawk.com) — Families in Los Alamos are among those served by Catholic Charities of Santa María, which is scrambling after thieves stole bikes, toys, and clothing days before a major Christmas giveaway. The nonprofit is urgently seeking replacement donations today and Thursday so low-income families across North Santa Barbara County, including Los Alamos, can still receive holiday gifts for their children.
