PEABODY, MA — Christmas may still be two months away but the Citizens Inn Haven from Hunger holiday toy collection is already underway in Peabody.
Those willing to brighten the season for a Peabody child in need with a new, unwrapped toy can drop the toys off at any fire station in the city through Dec. 9.
Toys will be distributed through pre-registered Haven from Hunger participants at the Citizens Inn during special "shopping hours" for households in the city. Toys will be collected for infants through teens.
