At this time of year, the organization asks that our readers help out by placing new, unwrapped gifts in the white boxes around town that are clearly marked with the group's logo. This year volunteers are hoping to serve more than 2,000 children.
The toys you donate will go directly to the Toy Cottage, where they will be organized and distributed to children in need.
Monetary donations are also appreciated; you can donate through PayPal on the website: flocdayton.org
