Newton County EHC clubs will again be sponsoring the Newton County EHC Toy Drive for Children. The program is available for children ages birth to 18 years of age. To be eligible, each child must be a resident of Newton County and if school age must be attending or associated with a school in Newton County. Those that are 18 must still be attending school.
Any family that is interested in participating may come to the Newton County Extension Office in Jasper or call the office at 446-2240. Applications can also be picked up at the Christian Food Room and DHS office in Jasper. To place a child’s name on the list, the parent of the child or the custodial guardian may call and get an application or come in person to give information about that child. Applications cannot be completed over the phone but they can be mailed to the family or mailed back to the extension office. An application must be completed for each child in a family.
The last day to sign up is November 30, 2021 or until the first 50 names have been received. The pick-up day for the Christmas gifts will be Friday, December 10, 2021 at the Newton County Extension Office from 9 am until 11 am.
