KGUN 9's "Giving Project" nonprofit for December is once again Milagro en el Barrio.

Founded 23 years ago, Steve Nunez continues to collect toys and money to make sure every child on the south side has a present this Christmas.

Nunez says his own childhood experience of not always having presents to open at Christmas inspired him.

"It's not just giving them toys," Nunez said. "It's about giving these kids, many who aren't cherished, aren't seen...it gives them hope and more importantly, love.

This Wednesday, Dec. 3, from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Steve will be outside of El Con Mall, near Portillos, 3761 E Broadway, for a toy drop-off event.

KGUN 9's Pat Parris will be there live, as well.

The giveaway event will take place on Saturday, Dec. 20, at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church
