Santa's elves have some helpers.

At their November meeting, DuPage Woodworkers turned over 1,642 toys they had made during the year to charities to distribute to needy children.

Stan Anderson, the toy chairman for the past 10 years, was honored with a plaque. During his 10 years of service, more than 17,000 toys have been distributed throughout DuPage and surrounding counties.

This year's receiving charities are the Lions Club of Darien, St. James the Apostle Catholic Church in Glen Ellyn, Mutual Ground Shelter in Aurora, Hesed House serving the homeless in Aurora, Humanitarian Service Project in Carol Stream, and St. Benedict Church in Chicago.

The club meets monthly at St. James the Apostle church in Glen Ellyn.
