You still have time to Christmas shop for your family and community. The Christmas Care toy drive will supply toys to children mostly in La Salle and Peru.
The toy drive is being overseen by Ax Church of La Salle and Harvest Community Church of the Nazarene of Peru. Toys are needed for children up to 13-years-old according to Ax Church Pastor Cameron Graper. Donations can be dropped off at one of collection sites around town and there’s no need to gift wrap.
Drop-off sites include Curve’s in Peru, Debo’s Ace Hardware in Peru, La Salle City Hall, the Peru Mall, and many local banks.
Parents will pickup the toys next Friday and Saturday at Harvest Community Church in downtown Peru.
Graper says they would like every child to receive a toy or two.
