🎁 Union County kids need us — and we’re running out of time. 🎁
This year, the need is greater than ever… but toy donations are way down. La Grande Les Schwab, along with Elkhorn Media Group, Ed Staub & Sons, House to Home Furnishings, and Paul Swigart Country Financial, is working to make sure every child wakes up to a gift on Christmas morning — but we can’t do it without you.

Please consider dropping off a new, unwrapped toy by December 15th. Every single donation helps a local child feel seen, loved, and remembered this Christmas.

✨ Drop-off locations:
• La Grande Les Schwab
• Paul Swigart Country Financial (La Grande & Baker City)
• Ed Staub & Sons
• House to Home Furnishings

Let’s come together, Union County.
Let’s make sure no child is left out this Christmas. ❤️🎄
