TOP STORY >> Christmas for Kids asks for help

The Christmas for Kids toy drive is asking the public to donate new toys or monetary donations to help buy new toys so that kids can have a happy Christmas.

“The Christmas for Kids committee works side by side with the Cabot Christmas Alliance in their food drive. We help families that need help during the Christmas Holidays in providing toys for the children so that they may have a good Christmas and enjoy the spirit of the holiday,” the announcement said.

“The families that we help, grows year after year and all money and toy donations helps only children that live in the Cabot School District. We try to help all different ages of children and with your kind heart and generous donation we will be able to do so,” it continued.
