The Lower Yellowstone Chapter of A.B.A.T.E. seeks toy or cash donations for the 26th Annual Toy Drive
The Lower Yellowstone Chapter of A.B.A.T.E. (American Bikers Aiming Toward Education) is a nonprofit organization in Montana that promotes motorcycle education, safety and awareness. The organization is involved in various community activities across Montana.
In Richland County they have worked closely with the Christmas Coalition for 21 years; gathering, buying, and donating toys for Gifts From The Heart. Last year, in the community, they distributed gifts to 378 children among 120 families. The chapter collects most of the toys and monetary donations from area companies, businesses, and individuals. This continued support is what keeps the toy drive going.
Are you looking for a tax-deductible contribution that will make a difference in a child’s life at Christmas? There are many ways to donate. Some area businesses will have either cash or toy donation boxes. They include Johnson Hardware & Furniture, Tractor Supply Company, Elks Lodge, Footers, HealthWorks and Sidney Mercantile. Buy a gift from or drop it off at Johnson Hardware & Furniture during the Christmas Stroll on Nov. 27 and receive a free meal. The A.B.A.T.E. organization will be selling chili, hot cocoa, hot apple cider, and baked goods. Most of the ingredients and supplies are generously donated from Johnson Hardware and Furniture as a fundraiser for the toy drive. Monetary donations can be mailed directly to Stockman Bank-ABATE, 301 W Holly St., Sidney, MT 59270 or Maria Hodge, PO Box 62, Crane, MT 59217. Arrangements can be made to pick up toys by calling Maria Hodge at 406-480-3597.
We thank you for your continued support in this worthwhile endeavor during the Christmas Holiday.
