We are hosting a Toy & Gift Drive benefiting Cornerstone Christmas, supporting over 350 children in our local area this season. We are collecting new, unwrapped toys and gifts valued above $15, with our greatest need being items for kids and teens ages 8–18. In order to offer a varied selection for our youth and prevent duplicate donations, we kindly ask that no books or board games be collected right now.

Drop-off location: Baker Elementary Front Office

Collection deadline: Tuesday, December 1st
