Brown County Toys for Kids will kick off soon with registration beginning Tuesday, November 6th.

Toys for Kids offers families in need assistance giving their kids, who would not otherwise get any toys, a little brighter Christmas.   Families who can provide some Christmas to their children with gifts of necessities such as clothing and shoes often rely on the program for extra gifts such as toys.

Registration for this year will run Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00am-4:00pm November 6th through December 13th at the Grand Starz, 2323 Belle Plain. Families needing assistance should bring their child’s social security cards and the parent’s personal identification.

Distribution Day will be Saturday, December 22nd.

Donations of toys and/or monetary gifts can be delivered to Grand Stars (2323 Belle Plain) or mailed to Toys for Kids, P.O. Box 912, Brownwood, Texas 76804.  Other drop-off locations include Brownwood Fire Stations 1 & 2.  All proceeds benefit Brown County residents and 100% of donations received go toward the purchase of toys.  The entire season is worked by volunteers and program directors of Toys for Kids who work diligently without receiving any income for their service.

For more information about the program or to volunteer, please call 325-646-6822.
