Holiday Toy Shoppe Update
Glade Valley Community Services Holiday Toy Shoppe is gearing up again this year to help provide a wonderful Christmas to many less fortunate children in our community.
Last year the Holiday Toy Shoppe provided new clothes, toys and books to 148 children and gift cards and books to 61 teens. This program is supported by the generosity of the churches, schools, businesses and individuals in our community.
All the gifts the children and teens receive and the door prizes the parents receive are donated. The families do go through a screening process to ensure the help is provided for those that really need it, and that they live in the Walkersville Feeder School District.
Applications were accepted from the families in October.
During November we provide all our donors with information regarding what specific items are needed for these children. All the donations will be dropped off at Walkersville Town Hall on Sunday, December 4, 2016.
Families receiving donations will come to Town Hall on December 7th to collect their gifts.
Many volunteers work hard to make this program such a success. Our committee is always looking for new volunteers to join us. If you are interested in joining us on this wonderful project please contact Ann at 301-845-0213 and leave a message on the machine!
