Then gift baskets will be needed for distribution on Dec. 25.We will especially need things for teenagers, said Jessica Woody. It’s not fun to be forgotten about. I grew up in a foster home and this is important to me. We have an opportunity to make a huge difference to the kids in our community.Chuckals will be collecting toys through Dec. 19 during their customer deliveries. They ask that the gifts, which will be accepted from everyone in the community, promote a positive image and be left unwrapped.
