Last week to request toys from Toys for Tots

Toys for Tots Coordinator Don Alexander, who represents Stephens, Franklin and Hart counties, recently spoke with WNEG News to encourage those who have submitted toy requests online to come pick up their presents.

Alexander explained that last Friday there was a significant decrease in residents coming in to pick up their toys; however, in part he attributes this to the recent snow.

He wants everyone who had submitted requests for toys with pickup dates scheduled for Dec. 8 that did not come out to get them to know that they have another opportunity to pick them up this coming Friday, Dec. 15, from 10 a.m. until noon.

“This is also the last week to submit a request for toys. Be sure to go online to toysfortots.org and click Request a Toy then follow the directions,” Alexander said.

As Alexander said if you have not requested toys for Christmas this is the last week to do so.

You can submit a request toys by visiting toysfortots.org and select Request a Toy at the top of the webpage, then follow the instructions.

The person requesting the toys must be the person picking up the toys.

The Toys for Tots warehouse is located in the brown building directly behind Mt. Zion Baptist Church, located on W. Whitman Street, and next to the Toccoa Boys and Girls Club.
