CLAYTON – The Town of Clayton’s Wellness Committee is launching a holiday toy drive to support western North Carolina families impacted by Hurricane Helene.
Members encourage residents to spread holiday cheer by donating new, unwrapped toys to brighten the season for children in need. Suggested items include action figures, dolls, board games, puzzles, books, art supplies, craft kits, and sports equipment.
Donations can be dropped off at the following locations during their regular business hours:
· Town Hall (111 East Second Street)
· Operations Center (653 NC Highway 42 West)
· Clayton Community Center (715 Amelia Church Road), open until 9 p.m. on weekdays
The deadline for donations is 12 p.m., Wednesday, November 27.
“Our community is about more than just coming together; it’s about lifting each other up,” said Wellness Committee Member Heather Probst. “As North Carolinians, we stand by one another, and we hope this small act of kindness will bring joy to families navigating difficult times this holiday season.”
After the holiday toy drive ends, the Town will deliver all the collected items to families in need.
