The annual Menino family toy drive celebrated 30 years on Sunday, as more than 300 families received gifts on Christmas Eve.

In honor of Boston’s late Mayor Thomas M. Menino, city leaders, community members and institutional partners joined the Menino family and marked the 30th year of giving to neighbors in the Bowdoin-Geneva area of the city.

The toy drive on Sunday distributed gifts to more than 300 families at the Catholic Charities Teen Center at St. Peter’s in Dorchester.
