MT. VERNON — The Jefferson County Toys for Kids program is once again looking to make sure every child in the county has a merry Christmas this year. But to make sure each kid has a happy holiday season, their parents need to make sure they make a registration deadline that comes up on Saturday.

Natalie Wellen with the United Way of South Central Illinois says the final registration day for the upcoming giveaway day is on Saturday.

Wellen says the kids that could use toys and other goodies at Christmas could also use help getting supplies for when they return to school after the holiday break.

This year’s Jefferson County Toys for Kids Giveaway Day is scheduled for December 15th. Your child must be registered beforehand to receive toys on that day.
