New Toys
With the generous support of the community, the Union County Christmas Bureau is able to provide Christmas presents to approximately
2800 children each year. These children range in ages from newborn to those still attending high school. Without your generosity, they would have nothing to look forward to on Christmas morning.
The Central Carolinas Det. 914 Marine Corps League sponsors the annual Toys for Tots drive in Union County. All of the toys collected at the barrels throughout the county are brought to the Christmas Bureau for distribution.
Additional donations of new toys are needed from the community to help provide at least 2 toys to every child that comes to the Christmas Bureau for assistance.
Used Toys
One of the projects our volunteers get excited about is our gently used toy project. Our volunteers clean toys, locate missing pieces and make almost new toys from the used toys that are donated. But we never have enough toys for every child. Please consider donating toys that your children no longer play with to the Christmas Bureau.
As you donate, be mindful that the used toys are to brighten a child’s life. Please consider the quality of the used toy as you give.
The 2009 distribution dates are December 18, 21, 22, and 23. It would help our volunteers tremendously to have all toy donations at the Christmas Bureau by December 16, 2009.
