Brookline Keeps Smiling, a local non-profit organization, announced the start of its 2nd Annual Holiday Toy Drive.  The drive runs from November 15 to December 17 this year, and is intended to help brighten the season for many children in the community.  Donated toys will benefit The Brookline Community Mental Health Center.

Residents are asked to donate new, unwrapped toys or gift cards.  Items should be geared toward children of all ages, but items for teens in particular are needed.  When selecting an item to give, please keep in mind donations should not include stuffed animals, food-related items or violence-related toys.
