You can help a child who might otherwise be left without anything under the Christmas tree. Eyewitness News is working with community organizations, businesses and residents again this year to build a “Tower of Toys.” The donated new unwrapped toys will go to Union Mission, so the agency can distribute toys throughout the area before Christmas to needy children. Participating is simple. Just drop off a new unwrapped toy at the station’s studios in Charleston, 1301 Piedmont Road, or in Huntington, 1002 Fourth Ave. Donations also can be made at the Building and Remodeling Warehouse in Nitro. Other partners include Off Broadway Shoes and the Kanawha Valley Corvette Club. Give a gift that really will make you feel good and bring joy to a child who does not have much to smile about. But you must act quickly; our toy drive wraps up Dec. 14. Also, there is a chance to make a donation while doing something healthy. Runners and walkers participating in the first Winter Series Walks/Runs on Sunday, Dec. 9, in Charleston are being asked to donate a new unwrapped toy when they come to the events. All toys will go to the “Tower of Toys” project. Registration for the 1 p.m. 3,000-meter walk (1.8 miles) and the 2 p.m. 5,000-meter run (3.1 miles) is at Charleston Area Medical Center Memorial Hospital. The walk and run start at 31st Street and Virginia Avenue. For more information or to obtain a registration form, visit http://tallmantrackclub.com/winter_series.htm. So please come help us build a huge “Tower of Toys” that will put smiles on the faces of lots of really deserving kids this Christmas. MORE NEWS FROM EYEWITNESS NEWS
