For December, in lieu of monetary donations, we ask women to bring an unopened toy to donate to Nashua PAL; they do so much work for the local kids who won’t have happy holidays otherwise, but recently their funding was severely cut and they can’t give the underprivileged and at risk youth a good holiday season without our help. | | |
