Shoppers can drop off gifts of new toys, books, groceries, winter clothing, toiletries, food and more at Wilko in Newland Street and Superdrug in High Street. Items should not be wrapped.
Major Nigel Govier, commanding officer at Kettering Salvation Army, said: “In the face of current economic hardship, we aim to go full out in helping needy families in the town and surrounding district. I’m still confident that local residents will once again act generously towards struggling families.
“We’ve always had great support from Kettering folk and will be delighted to again receive donations of new gifts for all age groups.”
