NEWS RELEASE

Think about the toy you really, really wanted for Christmas.  What about the toy that you played with daily, took everywhere you went, even slept with?  Contribute to great childhood memories by donating a new toy, books or games to the Gifford Youth Activity Center Toy Drive.

The toy collection for the annual Gifford Youth Activity Center Christmas Exchange is now in progress. Each year the Activity Center collects toys for children ages 6 to 18. For many GYAC children these toys are the only Christmas gifts they will receive. You can help by bringing unwrapped new toys or your tax deductible donation to Gifford Youth Activity Center before December 19th. The Center is located at 4875 43rd Avenue in Vero Beach. Donations can be dropped-off on weekdays between 8am-6pm.  Leading up to Christmas, staff and volunteers will talk with each child to find out their interests to make sure to choose something they will enjoy. Gifts will be wrapped and sorted according to age by staff and volunteers.  For gift ideas, call GYAC at 772 794 1005. Monetary donations are used to shop for gifts for the children as well.   Presents will be distributed to the children at the GYAC Christmas event. GYAC gratefully
