There is a table in the main hallway and in the foyer for filled boxes.  Pre-printed boxes are available there for you to fill. For those who want to furnish items you will also find a box for the items on the table.

• Candy: lollipops, mints, hard candy in a plastic bag, and gum are all acceptable.
• Other: sunglasses, flashlights with extra batteries, ball caps, socks, T-shirts, toy jewelry, hair clips, watches, picture books, etc.
