Wayne County Search & Rescue will host a Christmas for Kids fundraiser this Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. outside the Fairfield Walmart. Organizer, George Kostas says the group will be collecting new, unwrapped toys as well as cash or check donations to help provide Christmas gifts for local children ages 3 to 15.
Those who prefer to give financially can donate directly at the event or make a deposit at Fairfield Banking Company into the organization’s account. All monetary donations will go toward purchasing toys for area children.
Gift deliveries will take place the week of December 15, starting from the Fairfield Fire Department and distributed by Wayne County Search & Rescue volunteers.
Anyone with questions can call 618-599-9877.
Wayne County Search & Rescue, founded in March 2024, says it hopes to secure its official 501(c)(3) nonprofit designation in the near future.
