Toys for Vermont Kids
Collection barrels are out, and toys are being donated, says Lions Committee Co-Chair Sue Hays. The donated toys will be distributed through local food shelves and will make Christmas brighter for families in Vergennes and Bristol communities.
This year the Vergennes Lions are partnering with the Northland Jobs Corps. Job Corps students are assisting with collecting, sorting and distribution of toys. Job Corps is also providing a room on their campus to function as a central collection and distribution point. Co-Chairs Lion Roger and Sue Hays (pictured here with Job Corps student Jubilee Thorburn) are happy to have the new easily accessible area and many helping hands.
