Fill Santa's Workshop

NEWPORT, RI — The Martin Luther King Center is looking at a different kind of bare cupboard this week.

"Because of generous people and businesses from across Newport County, we've got enough food to feed over 2,000 people for both holidays," the center said.. "But, our Santa's Workshop closet needs filling."

MLK has a giant stocking to fill.

"We'll provide toys, gifts and gift cards to 395 local children this Christmas (with more signing up daily)," its press release said. "Every child gets at least 3 toys. As you can see from last year's photo, that's a lot of toys."

So,how can you help?
