Spring Valley Rd.) so residents can donate new, unopened baby diapers, kids' socks, underwear and pull-ups until November 30 to support Hope 4 Christmas Store. The drive, which helps about 1,000 children during the holiday season, is run by local churches and community partners (Municipal hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays; donations at the Police Department are accepted 24 hours).
