For his Eagle Scout Project, Antioch resident Greg Hoggan, 15, collected more than 550 stuffed animals and 440 blankets for the Antioch Child Abuse Prevention Council.

Another portion of the collection was donated to the Concord extension of the council. Greg, seen here with Maggie Velasco of the Concord Child Abuse Prevention Council, is a freshman at Deer Valley High School.

“I’m glad that I’ve been able to help someone in need,” Hoggan said. “Children are special people and sometimes need a helping hand through a really tough time. I hope my project will bring a little peace, comfort and a smile to their face. I hope they know that there are people in the world who care about them.”
