By Bill Moss, Published: December 21, 2015

The Bounty of Bethlehem will happen this year but organizers say they're still about $20,000 short of their $50,000 fundraising goal and they're asking folks to keep in mind donations of toys and supplies this week and show up to volunteer. After a large donation on Saturday by Wal-Mart and Toys for Tots, Bounty has plenty of toys for volunteers to wrap.

Online donations may be made at www.thebountyofbethlehem.org through the end of the year.

Other needs:

• Volunteers may call 828-693-5115 and leave their name or come by the Immaculata gym all week from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Jobs needed included turkey prep from 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, a volunteer to manage the the Food Truck Wednesday, Thursday and Friday; Cleaning Crew on Saturday; toy wrappers on Tuesday.
• Donors may drop off turkeys and hams today and desserts from from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday.
• Toys may be dropped off from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. through Christmas Eve.

Everything is at the Immaculata Catholic School gym at 711 Buncombe St.
