Stories Related to Applications Flowing In As Toy Fund Expands To Androscoggin County

The toy fund this year began accepting applications from Androscoggin County, expanding its reach to families that, in the past, did not qualify and were turned away. And, as expected, the applications have been flowing in from parents who are grateful and relieved to be included. “I am the single mother of four beautiful children,” a woman from Androscoggin County wrote to the fund.
