| NNY Christmas Miracle Event Drive Seeks Toys for Child Abuse Victims in Lewis and Jefferson Counties 12/12/18 07:30am By: Nick Altmire |
Lowville, has organized the NNY Christmas Miracle Event Drive, collecting toys for area children that have been victims of abuse. Working with the Child Advocacy Center in both Lewis and Jefferson counties, the goal is to collect enough toys to distribute to each child the centers have worked with this year. (For more on the Child Advocacy Center in Lewis County, you can see our article covering the opening from April, 2017 here.) "The Child Advocacy Center plays a significant role for families and children experiencing physical, mental, and sexual abuse," Investigator Morales, 2018 Real Hero Award winner for her work with the Advocacy Center, explained. "This will give us a different, more positive way to interact with these families during the holidays. It's a way to let them know they are not alone in their time of need." The toy drive runs through December 15th, with wrapping events to follow at the Lewis County Child Advocacy Center on December 19th and the Jefferson County Advocacy Center on December 20th. Families will pick up the presents during a dinner scheduled for December 21st. To help out, you can donate a toy valued between $20 and $25, or some wrapping supplies, such as paper and tape, at one of the locations listed below. |
