If you can give this season, here are 4 great places to donate locally. When you head over and shop Gloucester and hit Toodeloos, pick up a toy to make someones holiday bright. If you have any other great local places, post in the comments and we will update the post!
Each holiday season, Action sponsors the Project Uplift children’s toy and clothing drive. We seek the help of businesses, organizations, families, and individuals to sponsor toy and clothing collection points and donate gifts.
This year, we’re expanding the program to youth up to 14 years old and are hoping to increase gifts for older participants. Gift cards are always a big hit and can be purchased at your local grocery store or pharmacy!
