Local Food, Toy & Coat Drives
Posted on October 21, 2011Stapleton has kicked off the holiday giving!
Town Center Dentistry and Orthodontics is holding its annual toy and food drive through Dec. 15.
New toys and dried or canned goods can be dropped off at the dental office in the East 29th Avenue Town Center.

“It’s an easy way for people to give because it’s not necessarily a high-dollar amount,” Johnson said. “It’s easy to do, it’s easy to drop off and it benefits so many people in so many ways.”
Donations can be delivered between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
