Some Handy Yakima Drop Off Locations, For Toys For Tots Donations

Very seldom do I mind when Christmas activities start before Thanksgiving.

Family vacations and planning ahead for the upcoming travel and possible weather issues are about it.

The only other reason (in my book) that Christmas prep can start before Thanksgiving, is when it comes to helping those in need.

Toys For Tots annual toy drive is underway, and that’s where you can help!

Purchase a new toy for a child or younger teen and donate it to Toys for Tots.

Don’t just think about toys, things like sporting equipment (balls, bags, PPE), books, backpacks, games, cosmetic accessories! All of these things are welcome, and if you don’t have time to hit the store, cash is king.
