“Santa’s Christmas List” Needs Your Help — Final Week For Gifts For Warren County Children
We need your help! As you’re out and about this week, could I ask you to please pick up a toy here and a book there for children in Warren County? We have a great many children in need of presents for Christmas Morning…
Thanks to your overwhelming generosity last year, Social Services was able to hand out toys, books and other gifts that guaranteed Christmas Morning smiles for more than 733 children. This year we’d like to help at least that many children.
The donation locations are easy to find…just look for the very LARGE wrapped box at a number of Warren County locations…and our thanks to David Gardner at Warrenton Furniture Exchange for once again supplying us with these boxes! We’re looking for toys (both fun & educational), clothes/hats/gloves, stuffed toys, books, candy, gift cards for 13-16 year olds…really, anything new and unwrapped that you think would bring some joy to a child.
Then, just drop them by one of the following locations in the big wrapped boxes in Warrenton: Chamber of Commerce of Warren Office, Warren Record, WARR 1520 AM, First Citizens Bank, BB&T, Warrenton Town Hall, Milano’s, Firehouse Biscuits & Burgers and Pete Smith Tire & Quick Lube. In Norlina: White’s Barber Shop, Norlina Town Hall, Norlina Auto Parts and The Whistle Stop Cafe. If you’re up at the Lake, you can drop your gifts by The Lake Gaston Chamber Office on Eaton Ferry Road.
