LTE: Christmas Is For Kids Has Home For Gift Drive

October 16th, 2009 · No Comments

Hi,

Thanks to the City of Attleboro and the Attleboro School Department, Christmas is for Kids has a home for this year’s gift drive. The drop-off center will be at 135 County Street, which many Attleboro area residents will recognize as the original Attleboro High School or the “old” Brennan Middle School.

“We are very grateful to the city and the school department for offering this space,” said Kelly Fox, president of the Attleboro Area Council for Children, “Several people and organizations stepped up to help, so we want to thank Mayor Dumas and all of the realtors and churches and business owners who tried to help us find space this year. It was a real challenge.”

The space inside the building will allow for plenty of storage and workroom as well as security. Fox said that she will be working closely with the volunteers and the police to be sure that traffic around the building runs as smoothly outside as she believes things will run inside. “We want to be good neighbors to the folks living around the building, so we appreciate their patience on those few days that will be particularly busy as we get to the end of the drive.”

Applications will be available after Oct 20 in the local libraries, social service agencies and YMCA’s as well as on the Council’s website, which is www.councilforchildren.org

Thanks so much, as always, for helping to get the information out to the community!
all the best,
Kelly Fox, president
