Toys can also be brought to the annual Toy Drive Party on Saturday, Dec. 8 beginning at 6 p.m. at Evelyn’s Tavern.
Businesses, groups or individuals can also “adopt families” by specifying how many children in a family they would like to buy a coat, boots and some toys for.

The drive is being run in conjunction with the South Portland school and police departments and the South Portland Police Patrolmen’s Association.
