This Thursday, Dec. 7, is the last day to drop off toys for Toys for Tots at City facilities.
Toys for Tots accepts new, unwrapped toys and games for kids at locations throughout the Twin Cities (they cannot accept clothing, food or liquid products). Look for the Toys for Tots logo near the front desks of City Center (8080 Mitchell Road), the Community Center (16700 Valley View Road) and the Senior Center (8950 Eden Prairie Road) to drop off your donation.
Law enforcement has unique relationship with Toys for Tots. Each year employees from law enforcement agencies all over the Twin Cities collect toys and load them into squad cars for a procession to the KARE 11 studios in Golden Valley where the toys are unloaded and eventually distributed to children who would otherwise not receive a holiday gift. This year, the procession will take place Friday, Dec. 8.
