Communities in Utah, Tennessee, Texas, Mississippi and York and North Yorkshire are organizing holiday donation drives to help children and families facing hardship. In Utah, the Candy Cane Corner campaign is collecting gifts and funds for families experiencing homelessness, with gift cards, diapers, toys, sports balls, small appliances and blankets among the most-needed items. Nashville’s Stuff The Truck drive is gathering toys for Metro Police Christmas Charities’ holiday baskets, while Coleman County is accepting toy-drive applications from local families and collecting new toys, games, books and donations. In Hattiesburg, Christian Services and Daniell Motors are collecting new, unopened gifts for children ages 0 to 18 through Dec. 23. In York and North Yorkshire, Reuse Santa is collecting clean, complete, working pre-loved toys, games, books and puzzles for redistribution, while also diverting usable items from landfill.

Holiday-season offerings for pets include a dog-friendly café’s Christmas market and Santa visit with a rescue dog, Arlington’s Canines & Coffee gathering, and a Dothan bazaar selling pet gifts. Owners planning to share holiday food should stick to small portions of plain turkey and vegetables and avoid hazardous ingredients such as onions, raisins, chocolate and xylitol.
