Christmas morning is one of the most exciting times in a kid’s life, but not when there’s nothing under the tree. Thankfully, the Edisto community of locals and visitors all come together to make sure that there aren’t any children who think that Santa passed them by. This is why Whaley’s is hosting their second annual toy drive.
If you need help getting presents for your children this year, or know anyone who does, contact Nicole at (843) 670-7115 or at Whaley’s at 869-2161. Provide your name or the names of the child’s parents along with their address and phone number. Also provide the child’s name, age, sex, and suggest some toys that the child might be asking for. It’s not always possible to give the kids what they ask for, but it does make Christmas that much better when a child tears through the wrapping and sees the gift of his or her dreams.
If you want to pick up a toy or two for a child in the community, visit Whaley’s and pull a name from the tree. Or, donate toys for children under 12 at Whaley’s where there is a collection box. For anyone not too familiar with the Edisto area, Whaley’s is located at 2801 Myrtle Street.
Even though many families are facing economic hardship at the moment all over the country, the Edisto community is extremely grateful for any contributions that can be made to help all the children in the area.
This is also a good time to remember that children aren’t the only ones with needs in the area. Entire families need help and would greatly appreciate your donations to the food pantry to help them make Christmas dinner.
