The Snohomish County Visitor Information Centers will once again host drop-off boxes for donations of new toys, clothing or other suitable gifts for Christmas House, an Everett-based nonprofit agency providing opportunities for qualifying, low-income, Snohomish County parents to select free holiday gifts for their children ranging in age from infant to 18 years of age.

The donation boxes are located inside the visitor centers and donations can be dropped off during business hours until mid-December.

Visit the Christmas House web site for gift ideas for young kids to teenagers and more information about its work.
