A toy drive to benefit the students and families affected by the horrific shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School has been scheduled for this weekend.
The event will take place on Sunday, December 23 from 12 – 4 p.m. at Denmo’s, 340 Main St. South, Southbury.
All gifts are welcome and will be going to students at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Cash donations will also be accepted and will go to the families that have lost loved ones.
There is an overwhelming amount of teddy bears/stuffed animals and food, and while everyone appreciates the efforts, they offered up some alternative ways to help. Social Services is looking into other establishments to donate these teddy bears to (there is literally an excess of thousands). Christina will be bringing some to the Connecticut Children's Medical Center. Contact her if you have more to contribute at 203-512-8866. Still plenty of kids in the world who need toys for the holidays though...
