Community-wide agencies, organizations and volunteers are partnering to make the holidays brighter this year through the annual Yankton Toys for Kids program. The Yankton Toys for Kids wish list is being compiled for children in need, under the age of 18, who live in Yankton County. A release form and a wish list are to be completed and returned to United Way by Thursday, November 9, 2017. Forms are available through Head Start, Yankton County Health Office, Contact Center, S.D. Department of Labor and Department of Social Services. An agency referral is required to qualify for the Yankton Toys for Kids program. You may also “adopt a family” through the Yankton Toys for Kids Adoption Program, which enables businesses, community members or organizations to provide clothing, food and gifts to local families. Volunteer “adopters” are paired with a local family in need and provided with ages, clothing sizes and special requests.
