On Christmas morning, we all can work together to make sure every child in Baldwin County has a gift under their Christmas tree.
Dozens of organizations around the county are collecting toys, bikes and gifts for children in the first weeks of December. These items will be distributed to needy families and are certain to bring smiles on Christmas morning.
You can do the most good this holiday season by picking a charity from the list below and donating a toy, or maybe even an electronic for a teenager. Stuff a stocking full of goodies and love and know that Christmas Day will indeed be a little brighter.
Help us to do the most good in Baldwin County this holiday season.
