Donations continue to arrive at the Press Herald Toy Fund as supporters make year-end gifts and wrap up their own fundraising efforts.
The charity accepts donations year-round, although it relies on the holiday season for the bulk of funding it uses to buy toys and books for children in need.
Names of donors will continue to be published in the Press Herald, the Sun Journal and the Times Record unless a donor wishes to remain anonymous.
To make a donation online, go to pressherald.com/toy-fund.
Checks made out to the Portland Press Herald Toy Fund may be mailed to 295 Gannett Drive, South Portland ME 04106.

Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
