SEBRING - The fourth annual "Rudolph Roundup," a toy drive for children living in foster or group homes due to neglect or abuse, continues through Thursday.
Highlands County employees have sponsored 30 children and met their Christmas wish lists, and are inviting individuals and organizations to donate toys or cash for other children.

Donations of toys will be accepted through Thursday at the second floor administration office of the Highlands County Government Center, 600 S. Commerce Ave.

Gloria Rybinski, county public information officer, said cash donations for the toy drive will be accepted at the administration office through today.

Heartland for Children, the non profit organization that provides foster care, adoptive and case management services to 1,800 children in Highlands, Hardee and Polk counties, sponsors the toy drive.
