NFCC Collecting Toys For Santa Shop

New, unwrapped toys are needed for children ages 1 through 18 for the program that will reach more than 1,100 kids.

ROSWELL, GA —North Fulton Community Charities is collecting new, unwrapped toys for their annual Santa Shop where more than 600 qualified families will get the opportunity to select gifts for their children this holiday season.

This program will serve more than 1,100 children this year, the organization said. NFCC's Santa Shop is unique because donated toys are arranged in a toy store format and qualified parents have the opportunity to come without their children and pick out their child’s holiday gifts.

“It is a personal and joyful experience for parents to pick out their children’s gifts. It gives them control and dignity during a stressful time in their lives,” said Eden Purdy, director of programs at NFCC. “The donations from the community help bring the magic of Christmas and the holiday season to children of all ages.”
