program. The program works this way:
1. Sign up to become a sponsor by clicking the project
banner at www.cckids.net.
2. Tell us how many children you’d like to sponsor
and we’ll send you a list.
3. Collect the toys among your members.
4. Call us to arrange a pickup!
But be quick! This year’s toy collection ends in early
December so that we have enough time to organize the
gifts and get them out to families.
