Viewfinder: Cops for Kids and Toys for Tots 'n Teens Roll out the Gifts

Though separate efforts, both Cops for Kids and Toys for Tots 'n Teens aim to benefit local families during the holiday season and both began distributing donations Saturday.

It was a sight to see Saturday morning downtown as families basked in the fleeting sunshine while some were carrying rather large boxes of toys and food.

It turns out both and were in distribution mode -- the former holding a Santa party at Danish Hall for kids to receive readily-wrapped presents and have a picture taken with Santa, and the latter setting up at the Senior Center to allow parents to select gifts for their children as well as pick up two boxes full of donated food (organized by the Kiwanis Food Bank) to prepare a complete Christmas dinner.

Patch stopped by both events and chatted with families and volunteers alike.

Hi, Susan and Lou. We do know that our events calendar has issues at the moment with incorrect timesRead More displaying, and our engineering team is at work to correct this. My best suggestion at the moment is to post a comment on an event with the correct time, if you aren't able to go in and edit an event that you previously posted. Our ownership has not changed -- we have been and continue to be a part of the AOL family. Our intent with the new design is to highlight the great content that our users create and share with the community. We know there have been some bumps with our launch and are working diligently to fix them. We hope you'll be patient with us and continue to share on Patch.

I agree the previous version was much better and I am not adjusting well to the new version at all.Read More Its definitely not a better layout. Also have had many problems with the events calendar which may not even be fixable.
