Parents or guardians who need some help to make their children’s Christmas a merry one may register with Toys for Tots online in order to get some free gifts to put under the tree.

Where you live determines the proper website on which to register. Registration closes Dec. 8.

Organizers say those who live in Biddeford, Saco, Old Orchard Beach, Arundel, Dayton, Lyman, Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Hollis and Dayton should register at www.saco-me.toysfortots.org .

People who live in Sanford, Springvale, Alfred, Acton, Waterboro, Shapleigh, Limerick, Cornish, Kezar Falls, Parsonsfield, Wells and the southern York County communities can register at www.springvaleme. toysfortots.org.

Register online via computers only (no smartphones or iPads). For those without computers or Internet access, organizers suggest seeking assistance from family, friends or a local library. Email confirmation of registration will follow with a scheduled shopping day and time. Keeping with the spirit of Christmas and the joy of giving, Toys for Tots requests that families only apply to one York County program for toys.
