Brown County Toys for Kids registration for this year’s program will be held Mondays and Tuesdays from 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. beginning November 11th & 12th at Grand Starz, located at 2323 Belle Plain in Brownwood.
Toys for Kids offers families in need of assistance giving their kids, who would not otherwise get any toys, a little brighter Christmas. Families who provide Christmas to their children with gifts of necessities such as clothing and shoes often rely on the program for extra gifts such as toys.
Registration sign up times will continue through December with more dates and times to be announced. Families needing assistance should bring their child’s social security cards and the parent’s photo identification.
Toys for Kids is currently seeking donations of toys and/or monetary gifts to help with this year’s program. Donations can be delivered to Grand Stars (2323 Belle Plain) or mailed to Toys for Kids, P.O. Box 912, Brownwood, Texas 76804. Other drop-off locations include Brownwood Fire Stations 1 & 2. All proceeds benefit Brown County residents and 100% of donations received go toward the purchase of toys. The entire season is worked by volunteers and program directors of Toys for Kids who work diligently without receiving any income for their service.There is no number of toys per child predetermined each year, the amount given out per child always depends on the number of donations received, according to the program’s founder Wanda Martin.
For more information about the program or to volunteer, please call 325-646-6822.
