HERE'S HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED

The Pack-a-Sleigh project is a community-wide effort to provide Christmas presents for underprivileged kids/teens living in Northern Licking County, Southern Knox County and Eastern Franklin County.

This year, 2024 will be the 8th Christmas season spearheading this Toy Drive.  Last year, with the help of a number of local merchants, organizations, and individuals; we were able to help 1,445 children and families.  We are looking at helping bring a smile to many more children this year!

All toys will be distributed to parents of underprivileged children, living in and around Utica on Saturday, December 14th from 1-4pm in the Utica Church of Christ Main St. Parking lot; 126 N. Main St. Utica OH 43080. No proof of ID, Birth Certificate, or current address needed. Just simply arrive between 1-4pm on Saturday, December 14th and let the volunteers know what it is you need.
