Donations of new and good used children’s clothing and toys will be accepted beginning that date, too.
The hours are 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Those wanting to make a monetary donation to cover needs can make it payable to “Share Your Christmas.” The address is P.O. Box 170, Houston, Mo. 65483.
