Regardless of the circumstances, there is the harsh reality that many area families are struggling just to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads.  There simply isn't enough left for these parents to even think about gifts for their children at this special time of year.  This is where you and I come in.   WBSM and Child and Family Services have teamed up to help make Christmas more merry for many children who would otherwise be excluded from the joy that all kids should know at this time of year.

We call the program "The Holdiay Giving Tree".  All we ask is for one new, unwrapped toy, game or puzzle.  In the New Bedford area it can be dropped off at our offices in Fairhaven any weekday during regular business hours.  In the Fall River area, please take it to Blount Clam Shack and Soup Store ay 840 Bedford Street.

The toys will then be distributed to those families in need by Child and Family Servies of New Bedford and Fall River.   Thank you in advance for joining us in helping to make this a very Merry Christmas for everyone here on the Southcoast.
