Parents wishing to enlist their children in the 2018 Adopt-A-Child campaign must do so from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday.
The program is open to any child in Allen County, aside from Humboldt, which has a separate program, Gribble said.
Sign-up is at Iolas First Baptist Church, 801 N. Cottonwood St.
Parents are asked to bring their own identification and current address, their childs Social Security and medical cards, clothing and shoe needs and sizes and ideas for non-clothing gifts.
Gift ideas need to be specific and available locally, Gribble said. There is a $30 limit per item. Video games or systems, bicycles, gift cards and bedding will not be accepted.
Those wishing to adopt children for Christmas may do so starting Tuesday. Gifts need to be purchased and delivered to First Baptist Church by Dec. 3, so that parents can pick up their childrens gifts by Dec. 10.
Cash donations also will be accepted through the Adopt-A-Child account at Emprise Bank in Iola. The cash will be used to purchase gifts.
Other information is available by calling Teresa Gribble at 365-9103, Laura Tidd at 365-3004 or Jennifer Coltrane at (620) 496-2741.
