The Maine Department of Health and Human Services is seeking holiday donations for approximately 345 children in state custody. Some of the children will experience the winter holidays away from their families, while others are with families who struggle to provide basic necessities.

The Office of Child and Family Services will collect gifts and monetary donations for distribution to the children and families involved with the agency.

The agency can provide the specific ages and genders of children as well as gift suggestions. For more information, call Cindy Proulx at 561-4269.
