As we head in to the holiday season, officials at Wesley House say they need the community's help this year more than ever.

The charitable organization helps needy families give their children a fun Christmas by collecting donated toys from the community.

But the Wesley House also has a list of around 600 foster children who need to be taken care of at Christmas time.

Officials also say the overall need is up. If you can help in any way, be it through money or donated items, contact Wesley House at 601-485-4736.
