Cathy Taylor's Toys for Kids/Stockings for Teens
Cathy Taylor Toys for Kids Program
Our Toys for Kids Program is the same it has always been, we have renamed it in the honor of the late and great Cathy Taylor who spent years dedicated to the toy program in finding sponsors, donations, shopping, packaging, mailing out letters, and so much more. The toy program was one of her greatest joys and honor to coordinate each year for the children of Plainfield.
This program is open to children in the four villages of Plainfield, Moosup, Wauregan, and Central Village. We will be serving infants-12 years old only. We no longer will be mailing out or accepting paper forms. All registration will be done by our online system.
NEW Stockings for Teens
This program is open to teens in the four villages of Plainfield, Moosup, Wauregan, and Central Village. We will be serving 13-16 years old only for this program. Teens will receive a stocking with a few items and some sweet treats.
