SOUTHWICK – The Deedy family is gearing up to spread good cheer this holiday season with their annual toy drive.

“Last year we had people pick up the gifts and a few families were not able to get them, so we want to make sure everyone receives their gifts by delivering them ourselves,” said Deedy.
Deedy is working with the Southwick Food Pantry to identify families in need. Anyone best online casino who could use gifts for their children who do not receive services from the pantry can also request gifts via mooliciousfarm.com.
“If you know someone in need who is too proud to ask for help, let us know,” Deedy said.
So far, Deedy said they have a list of 140 local children they will collect and deliver toys to in time for Christmas.
“We”re delivering Sunday, Dec. 20 and should have some help from our civic organizations, such as the Southwick Police Association and the Grange,” said Deedy, adding donations of wrapping paper would also be appreciated.
Donations of new, unwrapped toys can be dropped off to Moolicious daily from 11 a.m. – 8 p.m. and also at Lifestyle Salon on College Highway.
