Chateau Chantal is collecting Toys for Tots, and they just got their boxes! That’s our cue to go fill them up with brand new, unwrapped toys for kids in our local community who might not otherwise get a toy for Christmas. Drop off toys any time during Chateau Chantal’s open hours – Sunday-Friday 11-5, and Saturday 11-6.
