"Christmas for Kids" drive starts today..

Registration for the 2012 “Christmas for Kids” gift drive kicks off today. The new program is sponsored by the “People for People” Coalition. This toys drive will take the place of the Annual Toys for Tykes Drive sponsored in years past by Kahn Chevrolet, Max Motors and The Community First Bank of Butler. 

 
There are new rules and regulations in the making this season. Parents may register children ages zero to 16 at the West Central Community Action Agency off the Butler Square. Income guidelines will qualify your child for the, “ Christmas for Kids” Drive 2012.

Register now through November 30th. There will not be any late sign ups allowed. More details will be available in the near future.

This year those that participate will adopt a child from the list of names, each child will have a wish list. You may adopt as many children as you want… and purchase as many gifts as you see fit. The purchases will go to the specific child and will be delivered as a wrapped gift to the West Central Community Action Agency. To make distribution easier this year, the Volunteers are asking that if you purchase more than 1 gift for your adopted Christmas Child…. That you put his/her gifts in a large trash bag and attach the identification tag to the outside of the bag. There will not be a shopper table this year. Children will be adopted individually during the 2012 “Christmas for Kids” Toy Drive .
More details as they develop, if you need information contact Vicki Kershner at West Central Community Action Agency 5 East Dakota Street in Butler. 660-679-4108.
