Please don't forget those children who come from poorer homes who's parents may not be able to give them everything they would like too.
It can be a hard season for some parents who do not like to see their children miss out and do the best they can to give them a merry time.
They appreciate a hand from generous people who donate gifts to the Christmas Toy Appeal which has been supported by the Hauraki Herald for the past 25 years. The Herald supports the Salvation Army in Thames and the Combined Churches of Paeroa by being a collection point for people to drop new toys off at. The office in Sealy St is open from 8.30am weekdays and in Paeroa you can leave your donations at the information centre in the middle of town. Gifts do not have to be big and expensive but they do need to be new, not second-hand.
Donations of gift-wrapping paper, name tags and tape would be appreciated by the organisations who wrap and deliver the gifts.
