Heartland Mall and the Early Police Department will be co-hosting a toy drive now through Friday, December 20th to benefit Toys For Kids.
Donations of new toys can be dropped off at the Heartland Mall office or the Early Police Department through December 20th. The public is invited to join Heartland Mall and Early PD as they fill the trucks to deliver the toys to Toys For Kids from 11 a.m.- 1:00 p.m. Friday at the mall.
Drop off a toy and join organizers for lunch on Friday as they will be serving sausage wraps and loading up the trucks to make Christmas special for kids in Brown County.
For more information call the Heartland Mall office at 325-646-8531.Toys for Kids is a local program that helps make it possible for some area kids to receive Christmas gifts who otherwise would not get any toys. Toy distribution day is scheduled for Saturday December 21st and will begin around 8:00 a.m. and last through 5:00 p.m. Each child receives approximately three toys (depending on donations received) through the program so the number of toys needed is huge. Approximately 1600 kids were registered as of Wednesday according to Toys for Kids officials.
To make a donation directly to Toys for Kids, for more information, or to volunteer, call Toys for Kids at 325-646-6822.
