Posing with some of the gifts donated by the community to Our Neighbor’s Child during the Panther Drop-Off are members of Stone Middle School’s National Junior Honor Society. Each Christmas, ONC provides new clothes and toys for families in need in the local area. And on Saturday, Dec. 5, the Stone students helped receive and sort donated clothes, toys, books and games and then loaded them into a truck bound for ONC’s warehouse. All the gifts for each recipient family will be packaged on Thursday, Dec. 10. Then they’ll all be delivered this Sunday, Dec. 13, from 1-4 p.m. But with nearly 800 families on ONC’s list, as many drivers as possible are needed to help make the deliveries.
