Each year the Kiwanis Club of the Central Adirondacks collects and distributes gifts and toys to special families in Woodgate, White Lake, Otter Lake, Thendara, Old Forge, Eagle Bay, Inlet, Raquette Lake, Long Lake and Indian Lake.
Central Adirondack Kiwanis partners with The Marine Corps League (MCL) "Toys for Tots" program. In addition to the gifts collected locally, the MCL allows Kiwanis to visit their Christmas Gift Warehouse and select appropriate gift for the children on Santa's List.
This very worthwhile Central Adirondack Kiwanis program provides gifts and toys to over 325 children in the region.
Gift and Toy collection locations will be at Adirondack Bank, Community Bank, Inlet Department Store (ACE), Kinney Drugs, Old Forge Department Store (ACE), Old Forge Hardware, Smith Marine, Souvenir Village and VIEW. In addition, there are toy collection sites at the following Post Offices; Old Forge, Eagle Bay, Inlet, Thendara and Woodgate.
Kiwanis invites the community to consider leaving a gift or toy at one of the collections locations. The gift and toy collection period runs until Dec. 14.
The Key Club of the Town of Webb School will participate in the gift-wrapping party that is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 16 at VIEW beginning at 3 p.m.
