Toys for Tots volunteers busy sorting gifts
Volunteers helping bag up Toys for Tots including people from NewsChannel 13.
Volunteers were hard at work sorting and organizing donated toys for distribution at the Toys for Tots warehouse in Mechanicville on Thursday.
Staff Sgt. Patrick Lurenz, coordinator for Capital Region Toys for Tots, said they have special need for toys for boys and girls ages 11 and up. It could be personal care items or small electronics – things that teens and preteens would like.
The other thing they need is your time.
“We need volunteers. We need people to help bag and tag – unfortunately work out here in the cold a little,” said Lurenz. “Help get these toys to the organizations that are going to get them to the kids this year.”
NewsChannel 13 is helping the effort, and will bring you reports throughout the day.
