It’s that time of year, a time for thanks and for giving. It’s typical this time of year for lots of toy drives to appear. Many organizations around the state help collect toys to then donate to families who might otherwise go without this year. We’ve compiled a list of toy drives around the state. My kids love to help me shop for toys, especially when they know that it will go to someone who needs it more than they do (although, it’s still hard for them not to get a toy out of it all!). Pick a location and take your kids to the store with you! They’ll love to choose a toy, help wrap it and then deliver it to any of these toy drive locations!
