The "I Still Believe in Santa" program by the Stueckrad Family of Streator will conduct two toy and personal care item drives.

The drives are to collect items for needy youths between 13 and 18 years old who still live at home and are not benefiting from other programs. They also are for senior citizens who live in nursing homes or alone and have few or no relatives around for the holidays.

Needed for teens are hooded sweatshirts, electronic items, self-care products, hats, mittens, gloves, stockings to fill with candy, candy to fill stockings; for seniors: personal care products, ChapStick, lip balm, slipper socks, candy dishes, mini-Christmas trees, wreaths, large print books, magazines, large-piece puzzles, crossword puzzles, pens and pencils, mini-stuffed animals. The organizers request no candles be donated. Donated items should be in new or excellent used condition.

The drives will be held:

• Saturday, Nov. 21, from noon to 4 p.m. at City Park at the corner of Park and Hickory streets.
• Saturday, Dec. 5, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Lori's Mailboxes and Parcel Depot, 1215 N. Bloomington St.
