Community chips-in to buy Noyes Home children Christmas gifts

KJO Donations
KJO Toy Drive Donations

All of the Noyes Home children currently on the K-JO Toy Hookup list have been checked off as of Friday morning.

Gregg Lynn is the program director for K-JO 105.5 and said all specific lists for the toy drive have been fulfilled.

“We’re not anywhere near done,” Lynn said. “We’ve got thousands of kids we still need to take care of through Adopt-A-Family.  So we’re asking now for any new unwrapped toy. If you think a kid would want to play with it we want it and cash donations.”

Lynn said he fully expects to see more children come in to the Noyes Home before the annual Christmas Party Dec. 14th and they want to be able to provide those children with gifts as well.

“We’re going to want to buy them presents too.  We don’t want to have a Christmas Party and no presents.  So if we can do cash donations right now as new kids come in we can make sure to buy them gifts too,” Lynn said.

As of Friday morning 32 children were taken care of for Christmas at the Noyes Home.

“I think almost every fire house has purchased everything for at least one kid if not one per shift,” Lynn said. “Some listeners have taken on lots and lots of kids.”

Lynn said additional donations will be given to the AFL-CIO’s Adopt-A-Family program to benefit other children in need in the community.

Anyone interested in donating toys to the 14th annual K-JO Toy Drive can do so until 5 p.m. Friday at the KKJO Studio located at 4104 Country Lane or at Olive Garden, this year’s sponsor of the drive.
