Maui County Council members and staff have collected donations for Maui United Way's Holiday Toy Drive, with gifts going to kids receiving services from Maui United Way and Friends of the Children's Justice Center, Council Chairwoman Alice Lee announced Monday.
Donations will be distributed throughout Maui County to kids affected by domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, low income or special needs, Lee said. According to Maui United Way, last year's drive provided 2,680 children with Christmas gifts, fulfilling all requests.
"With everything families are going through, we felt this small gesture of kindness would help share the magic of the holidays," Lee said.
Maui United way is seeking new, unwrapped toy donations primarily for children ages 0 to 2 and 6 to 17 years old. Monetary donations are welcomed to purchase gifts that are still needed at the end of the drive.
