For the good of the community

OGEMAW COUNTY – Toys for Tots is a volunteer based organization, started in 1947, that provides toys for families in need at Christmas. The age limit is up to 13 years of age. Shannon Wiley, the coordinator for Ogemaw County hopes to increase that limit next year.

Shannon would like more community involvement and to hold more fundraising events in the future. She said her and Officer Noble are doing the footwork at this time, but anyone can volunteer. They will be needing help to sort and bag on December 10th – 13th from 10 am to 6 pm at the Horton Township Hall and distribute on December 14th from 10 am to 6 pm. Please contact Shannon at 989-915-7609 or www.facebook.com/ogemawcountytoysfortots/ .

She said she “loves helping others and knowing that we can help bring Christmas to a child, warms my heart! There is nothing more rewarding, than knowing you made a difference.”

Ogemaw County Toys for Tots has two upcoming Stuff the Blue Goose events. Nov. 30th 8a-6p at Northland Federal Credit Union at 2170 M-76 West Branch and Dec. 4th noon-6p outside at Wal-Mart in West Branch.
