Quota Club of Northampton is again accepting contributions of either new, unwrapped gifts of your own choosing, gift cards or a financial donation for the club’s “elves” to shop with. Volunteers will arrange for the purchase, wrapping and delivery of gifts for kids in this community.

The club also will operate a Christmas store Dec. 3 for young clients of Northampton Area Food Bank. At Judy’s Little Shoppers Shop, each child will be able to pick out a gift for every member of the family at no charge. In addition to gifts for children, the club is looking for small gifts for dads and teenage boys.

To help, call Kelly at 610-262-7826.

Quota Club also is selling poinsettia vouchers for Hickory Grove Greenhouse, North Catasauqua. Those interested can contact Nikol at 610-440-2171.
