In an initiative to promote the spirit of giving during the holiday season, Shepherdstown Shares, covered by The Shepherdstown Chronicle, encourages local children to donate toys they no longer use for families in need. Following a program established by volunteer Mary Beth Kilmer, children visiting Santa Claus are invited to fill bags with gently used toys, which will be distributed to those relying on the Shepherdstown Shares Food Pantry. This initiative not only provides support for local families but also teaches children meaningful values about sharing and caring for others, exemplified by young DJ Cole's eagerness to help.
