The Portland Press Herald Toy Fund aims to provide toys for 7,000 children in Cumberland, York, Sagadahoc, Lincoln and Knox counties. Applications are being accepted and readers of the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram are once again encouraged to put smiles on children’s faces during the holiday season.
Applications can be downloaded at pressheraldtoyfund.org or call 791-6672 to have one mailed to you, or pick one up at the Welcome Center desk on the fifth floor of One City Center in Portland.

Dear Portland Press Herald Toy Fund,
We are a family of six people. My husband is the only income because I take care of our children, and my youngest baby was born in April.
We can barely buy them toys. It would be nice if you help us. Thank you so much.
