Some children in Eau Claire are giving presents to other less fortunate children this holiday season.
Fourth graders from Mrs. Gallagher's class at Lakeshore Elementary raised more than 200 dollars to use for Christmas presents.
They babysat, did chores, and even sold pins to collect money.
The money will go towards the "Christmas is For Children" program.
The program strives to make Christmas a little brighter for children who may not receive a present this year.
"It feels good for giving children who, need, who'll actually use them", says Forth grader Nathan Balke.
Most of the presents have already been delivered.
Some of the children are going with their parents to deliver the gifts personally.
