Trigger’s Toys: In 2008, during a hard time in his own life, Bryan Townsend began volunteering in children’s hospitals. With his dog “Trigger” in tow, he quickly learned that helping others brought peace into his own heart. Bryan and his wife Stacey have expanded their work from giving time to giving money. TriggersToys.org has raised nearly $1M for local nonprofits such as Bryan’s House and Youth with Faces. The organization has also fed thousands of people while raising critical funds for out-of-work restaurant employees.
