SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The holidays will be a bit more brighter this season after the community Toys for Tots toy drive provided special gifts for 347 kids.
Toys were collected in bins located around the community as well as online via Walmart's virtual toy drive.
The presents will be given to youth from the Family Resource Center who collected applications for the Toys for Tots organizer. Now the families will be picking up a bag full of books, toys and stuffed animals.
"We are overwhelmed with the support this year," said local organizer Kirsti Bell. "A thank you to Harrah's employees and Lumi and her friends that helped sort toys and put together bags for the families. Thanks to the businesses that support us."
