So far, we’ve filled 46 boxes.
The Toy Drive kicked off Wednesday with an all-day drop-off event. News4JAX viewers from across the area dropped off new, unwrapped toys for Jacksonville Toys for Tots to help make the holiday season a bit brighter for some children and to help make the load a lot lighter for their families.
Wednesday’s drop-off event began at 7 a.m. and ended at 7 p.m., but if you couldn’t stop by Channel 4 during that time, you still have until Dec. 9 to drop off a toy at our studios — located at 4 Broadcast Place, Jacksonville, FL 32207.
Since 1947, Toys for Tots has distributed 604 million toys to 272 million less fortunate children across America.
