LOWVILLE — A "Toys for Children" drive is under way at two locations here.

Toys may be dropped off at Essenlohr Motors, Utica Boulevard, or the Lewis County Marine Corps League on Route 12 just west of the village through Dec. 15. Checks may also be made out to either Essenlohr or the Marine Corps League with "Toys for Children" in the memo section.

Toys are not to be wrapped and must be new.

Donated toys will be distributed to local needy children through the Lewis County Opportunities Christmas Sharing program.
