CERRITOS, CA — The city is partnering with the Salvation Army and U.S. Marine Corps programs to collect holiday gifts for children.
Through the Salvation Army's Angel Giving Tree program, donors can select tags at the Cerritos Senior Center through Nov. 20, and shop for gifts for children from infancy to 12 years old. Each tag lists a child's age, gender, clothing size and toy request.
Gifts must be returned with the original tag to the senior center by Dec. 4.
Residents can also donate new, unwrapped toys to the Marine Corps' Toys for Tots program, which provides gifts to children in need. Collection boxes will be available through Dec. 4 at Cerritos City Hall, Cerritos Library, Cerritos Senior Center at Pat Nixon Park, Liberty Park and Cerritos Park East.
More information is available from the city's Community Services Division at 562-865-8101.
More about the Angel Tree program is on the Salvation Army's website.
