This year Mac’s Toy Fund will serve nearly 4,500 Raleigh County children, providing them with toys, coats, gloves, hats, bikes and more. To ensure the success of the event, to be held Dec. 15, Mac’s needs your help.
If you would like to donate a bike and need someone to pick it up, please call 304-252-3874, or e-mail bsa.troop.103.
beckley@gmail.com. It need not be in perfect condition; Boy Scouts of Troops 103 and 3 will make repairs.
Used toys and dolls should be dropped off at BJW Printing and Office Supplies, 3100 Robert C. Byrd Drive, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
New or gently used coats can be dropped off at Family Coin Laundry on Robert C. Byrd Drive. Donation boxes will soon be available at several area locations. A list will be provided this weekend in this same space.

Mac’s Toy Fund
Since the times of America’s First Great Depression, a Christmas season tradition has been taking place in Beckley to make certain that as many of our neediest children can experience the holiday with some cheer.
Established in 1930 by the late Ted “Mac” McDowell, who was editor of the Beckley Post Herald at the time, Mac’s Toy Fund will hold its annual party on Saturday, Dec. 15, at the Beckley-Raleigh County Convention Center. - Mac's Toy Fund — Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013
