Brownwood Kiwanis Club President Royce Blackburn presented Wanda and Scott Martin, founders of Brown County Toys For Kids, with a $500 donation during the noon membership meeting held on Thursday, Nov. 5 at the Brownwood Country Club.

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

Toys for Kids is currently seeking donations of toys and/or monetary gifts to help with this year’s program.  Donations 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.
