Thanks.   sac Supporter Username: Sac Post Number: 2937 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Sunday, December 18, 2005 - 11:04 pm:        There was another thread on this subject within the last week or so which mentioned some collection locations for several toy drives, including the Parenting Center drive which serves needy families in our community. So some searching would probably turn this up. I don't have the phone number, but the Parenting Center is connected with (housed in?) the school district central office, so you might be able to get a phone number there.   galileo Citizen Username: Galileo Post Number: 210 Registered: 7-2001 Posted on Sunday, December 18, 2005 - 11:07 pm:        On Maplewood Ave. - Bank of America and Burgdorff's.   Just The Aunt Supporter Username: Auntof13 Post Number: 3385 Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Monday, December 19, 2005 - 6:33 am:        As sac mentioned there are children right here in South Orange and Maplewood whose families are 'needy.' I know last year Marshall School was collecting toys because I dropped a couple of boxes off. I also brought a large box of things to the BOE Office on Academy. They were a little shocked I included some pets toys and treats as well as a few things adults and teenagers would like. The BOE Office is 973-762-5600. I had already donate over $100 to Toys For Tots, and wanted to do something else local, as in South Orange or Maplewood. Last year the BOE had particular families in mind. Not sure about this year.   phyllis Citizen Username: Phyllis Post Number: 462 Registered: 6-2001 Posted on Monday, December 19, 2005 - 7:41 am:        Maplewood Post Office had a bin for collecting toys as of last week.   hismom Citizen Username: Hismom Post Number: 346 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Tuesday, December 20, 2005 - 5:52 pm:        The Parenting Center (at the BOE offices on Academy) is collecting toys via the schools like last year - Marshall had a huge pile when I was there last week. I'm sure you can still bring them directly to the Parenting Center.
