Thousands of new toys will be under the Christmas tree for needy children in Northwest Ohio thanks to an explosion of generosity!
The Hope for the Holidays all-day drive-thru event for toy donations ended with more than 6800 toys. That includes all the gifts dropped off at the 13abc studios in the weeks leading up to today's drive-thru even.
13abc, Salvation Army, Gallon, Takacs, Boissoneault & Schaffer, Walmart, Hylant Group, and Vito's Pizza and Subs joined together to make this a happier holiday for so many deserving families.
It was a steady stream of donations at the 13abc Studios from 5:00am to 6:30pm today.
Elected leaders, team mascots, K-100 Radio, the Toledo Zoo, Imagination Station, and the Salvation Army were on hand to collect toys.
Vito's Pizza handed out free slices of pizza to everyone who contributed a toy. Area choirs sang carols and Santa greeted the children.
13abc's Diane Larson and Kristian Brown along with Chief Meteorologist Jay Berschback were there to report live from 5:00pm to 6:30pm.
And if you didn't have a chance to donate today, you can donate anytime through December 21 at any one of dozens of drop off locations listed below:
