Each year the nonprofit Red Stocking Fund collects gifts of food, clothing and toys for underprivileged Island children. This year, they are expected to serve more than 400 children. But time is running out, and the volunteers say more items are needed.

Organizers say they are looking for donations of hats, gloves and mittens for older kids ages 12-15 and toys for kids under 10, including action figures, Legos, balls, arts and crafts supplies.

Donations must be dropped off by Tuesday morning to Grace Church in Vineyard Haven. Volunteers are in the midst of wrapping these presents, which will be made available for pickup at the end of the week.
