The children and their families were each from the Red Shield Youth Center through the Salvation Army.

“This is an opportunity to show kids that giving back to their community matters and there’s somebody in the world that cares about them,” said Captain Mike McGee with the Salvation Army.

Sexton told Channel 9 that it was only the start.

“Something like this … we’re building that connection with the community. I’m going to be coming here more and more just to check in on the kids,” he explained.

Sexton said he has already started working on ways to give back as we head into the Christmas season.
