Christmas is coming early this weekend as Toys for Tots hosts its Halfway to Christmas toy drive at Davies Farm in Congers.

The event aims to fill a military HMMWV trailer with new, unwrapped toys that will be distributed to children throughout Rockland County during the upcoming holiday season.

Families are invited to stop by, donate a new toy, and meet Santa Claus, who will be on hand to greet children and help spread some Christmas cheer in the middle of summer.

Organizers hope the community will come together to help ensure local children and families benefit from the Toys for Tots program this holiday season. Every donated toy helps bring joy to a child in need.

Those attending are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy to support the annual campaign and help fill the trailer for children across Rockland County.
