Wanted: Holiday Donations for the Troops

David Kemp, the son of Barbara and Gil Kemp of Scarsdale, and his troops are back in Afghanistan. The Scarsdale Teen Center will be helping them by collecting items in a collection box for users to drop off their donations. Small gifts like socks, candy, gum, books, cds, dental floss, tooth brushes, dry fruit, snack bars and toys are some of the items on the list that they can give to children in the streets of Afghanistan. They will not accept cash or checks. There is a short turn around needed to get it to the troops on time for the holidays. The deadline for the donations is November 29th.

Drop in hours at the Teen Center for anyone who wants to drop off their items in the collection box can do so this Wednesday from 3 - 6, Friday and Saturday from 3 - 11pm. The Teen Center is at 862 Scarsdale Ave, Scarsdale.
