Throughout the past year around the community, toys have been collected for the Manager Full of Toys event. The event will be held this Saturday, December 15th at 10:00 A.M.
Over two thousand new and lightly used toys are projected to be given away at the third annual event.
The toys that will be given are free for children and teens and there’s not a prerequisite income level.
Event organizer Rachel Watson commented on how thankful she is for the donations that allow the program to continue to grow year after year. “We hate to see the same families every year, but then again we love to see them. We love that they know their needs will be met,” said Watson.
It is very unfortunate that the need for these annual events continues to grow, but it is great that we live in such a great and giving community that we never shy away from an opportunity to give back.
Even though the event is just two days away, you still have time to donate toys if you’re interested! There is also a need for volunteers at the event. If you’re interested in donating toys or your time you can call: 573-624-1324.
