MIX 101.5 will be collecting toys throughout the month of December at Cary’s Crossroads Plaza, Durham’s Commons at University Shopping Place, Triangle Town Center Mall and Cary Town Center Mall. Go to wralfm.com for dates and times of these drives.
Toys for Tots was founded in 1947 by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. The Toys for Tots Program collects new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year and distributes those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.
Toys for Tots Raleigh distributes toys to ten counties including Wake, Durham, Johnston, Sampson, Orange, Chatham, Franklin, Vance, Warren and Granville. For additional information about Toys for Tots please visit the Raleigh Toys for Tots web page.
