People from all “walks” of life are showing a generous spirit to donate to the “Tower of Toys.”
Eyewitness News urges you to join these folks and to donate a new unwrapped toy to the “Tower of Toys” toy drive for Union Mission before the drive wraps up on Friday. More than 400 children are signed up for toys, so the need is great.
Lots of people are stepping forward to help us build a mountain of toys. Runners and walkers in the Winter Series Walks/Runs on Sunday in Charleston came forward in a big way, donating 100 toys toward the effort. A little girl from Elkview showed just how big her heart is. Nikki Schoolcraft saved her pennies for a year to purchase $120 worth of toys.
These tremendous displays of generosity are helping in a big way, but there is much more to do.
Participating is simple. Just drop off a new unwrapped toy at the station’s studio in Charleston, 1301 Piedmont Road, or at the station's studio in Huntington, 1002 Fourth Ave. Donations also can be made at the Building and Remodeling Warehouse. Other partners include Off Broadway Shoes and the Kanawha Valley Corvette Club.
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.
