Assemblyman Billy Jones (D-Chateaugay Lake) will once again host a toy drive to benefit the Christmas Bureau. For the past seven years, Jones has collected toys from the North Country community to ensure that every kid is able to open a present this holiday season.

            “The North Country is always willing to give to their neighbors in need and I look forward to my toy drive every year due to the overwhelming response from the local community,” said Jones. “By the end of the drive, it’s difficult to maneuver around the office because of all the toys- and honestly, that is a problem I am happy to have. I want to thank Tammy and all the volunteers at the Christmas Bureau for all their hard work every holiday season and the community for their gracious donations. Let’s make this year the biggest drive yet!”

            “I want to thank Assemblyman Jones and the community for always supporting us during the holiday season,” said Tammy Perrotte Sears. “Getting toys to every child during the holiday season would not be possible without all of you.”

            You can drop off new unwrapped toys and monetary donations at Assemblyman Jones’s office at 202 US Oval in Plattsburgh starting Monday, November 25th. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The drive ends Friday, December 13th.
