Lakeview Hospital is collecting new, unwrapped toys or gift cards for children to be donated to St. Tammany Project Christmas. This local nonprofit organization provides presents for children and food for family Christmas dinners to local families in need.
The toys are given to parents one week before Christmas so they can surprise their children with gifts on Christmas morning.
The public can participate from Nov. 17 through Dec. 5 and can drop off items from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. to Lakeview Hospital, Human Resources Department, 95 Judge Tanner Blvd. in Covington.
Call Tiche Bodet at (985) 867-4166 for more information.
