The short turnaround between Thanksgiving and Christmas means everyone is scrambling and that’s affecting some nonprofits that collect toy donations this time of year.
At ABCD’s Dorchester distribution center, they’ve received about 500 toys so far but they need thousands more to help some 800 families who have signed up for help this year.
ABCD collects toys for kids up to 12 years old with an emphasis on the older kids because officials say they often receive fewer donations.
