Tag turn in date was yesterday. Some of you have reached out for extensions. As of today, we probably only have half of our gifts returned to us to get ready for sorting, buying extra gifts (for unfullfilled tags) and wrapping. Please turn your gifts into the Methodist church today between 9 and 4 or you can drop them at Dollar general, Canton Home and Farm, or Bomgaars under the Christmas Tree. You can also bring them to Laurel's House During the day, pm us for address. There is a lot of cost when tags are not turned in or if they are not fulfilled completely. I try hard to make sure kids get what is on their tag or at least 75% of it. I have had many tags turned in with very little items along with them. IF you would like to donate we do have an account at First Bank & Trust or Venmo. Thank you!

36 Families and 129 tags to be filled. It would be awesome if we would get 100% tag return but there usually are quite a few that we need to purchase last minute. If you want to help, there is Venmo or an account at First Bank and Trust under toys for Canton Area Tots. Throughout the next week we will be busy sorting through all the toys and getting them organized to be wrapped. If you haven't turned your tag in yet, please get them in before next week Monday if you can. (call me if you can't and I will mark those tag numbers) Please don't just show up with your stuff at wrapping night. By then we will have purchased more things for your tag because we didn't think it was filled. Wrapping night is Ded 22. 6:30 Methodist church basement. I could use some larger boxes, one for each family, but put their gifts into, and then some small-medium boxes for wrapping gifts into. If you would like to bring some boxes, contact me and I will meet you at the Church to drop them off. Thanks! 605-231-1795

I have a large family that missed the deadline for Toys for Canton Area Tots, and while I am trying to be stricter on the rules for Toys for Canton Area Tots (because it can be easy to take advantage of me) I also know this local family has been here a while and kids are involved in school activities and such. Is there anyone out there that would adopt this family? I haven't gotten the info yet, but I will try. Or maybe two of people can tag team all the presents for this family? Private message me if you would like to do this Thank you! (there are still lots of tags on the trees around town too!)

33 families, and 114 kids have applied for Toys for Canton Area Tots! Now it is our job as a community to help fill those tags! Please go to Bomgaars, Dollar General, or Canton Home and Farm and find a tag or two that you would like to fill Buy the items wherever you want, put them in the plastic bags they were sold in and attach the tag to the bag for the child. Either bring them back to the store and drop off or you can drop them at Canton United Methodist Church! I will also have a table at the Festival of Trees far at the PAC this Saturday and will collect gifts and hand out tags! There are so many to fill, please help if you can!
