Of particular need are items for teenagers, often overlooked by peo- ple who enjoy picking out children's toys when thinking of donating.

Riddell said they have seen dona- tions increase since the bags have been used as people tend to try to fill them with items of food, toys and gifts. "It really does pay off," she said. "We want everyone to fill them." But Riddell also said financial contributions help as well, allowing Bureau managers to purchase items that may be needed but weren't a 1987 Pontiac Firebird had left the roadway and struck a hydro pole.
