This year the Port Huron Parks and Recreation Department will be working with Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and PCC Community Services to support foster families and low-income families in St. Clair County through child-specific Christmas gift donations. Michigan has approximately 13,700 children in foster care. Those interested in helping with the cause can visit the Recreation Department to pick up a child assignment and gift bag. The child assignment will include the child’s age and wish list of items they hope to receive. Gift bags are $1 each to offset the cost of the bag. The gift drive is now open and bags must be returned to Palmer Park full of purchases by December 3 so gifts can be delivered in time for Christmas. The Recreation Department is located at 2829 Armour Street, Port Huron, MI. Office hours are Monday – Friday 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. and it has extended hours on select Wednesdays and Thursdays. For more information call the department at 810-984-9760.
