Salamandra’s Mex Grill has partnered with the Angels with Faith Ministries, to help make it a very Merry Christmas to children and families in need. They are asking the community to donate a new unwrapped toy for any child up to the age of 17 for a boy or a girl.

In return, Salamandra’s is offering to provide a FREE Combo Dinner of any two items. The toy drive began on Dec. 7.

“We will be taking donations up until December 22,” said Leslie McDowell. “The Angels with faith Ministries have told us that they had a lot of little girls asking for dolls this year, also they have infants in need as well.”

Lori Tuck with Angels in Faith Ministries said this is the fourth Christmas that they have operated the ministry and they haven’t yet had to turn away a child in need at Christmas. The ask that the toys be unwrapped.

“We truly appreciate any help at all in collecting toys for these many children who are counting on us for their Christmas blessings,” Tuck said. "We have children ages newborn all the way up to some disabled children who are 17 so any toys at all will go to good use. We hope and pray your wonderful customers will be willing to help children in need this year through our Christmas Angels Program."

Salamandra's is a new restaurant in Grayson serving Mexican cuisine. It located in the Kroger Center.
