Thousands of Jacksonville families will have toys just in time for the holidays thanks to the public's generosity.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Thousands of Jacksonville children will wake up on Christmas morning with brand new toys thanks to your generosity.
If you’ll recall, News4Jax held a toy drive at Channel 4 earlier this month to collect donations for Toys for Tots and our viewers generously donated nearly 1,400 toys.
Those toys and thousands of others were given to local families Friday just in time for the holidays.
Justin Cabrera, the Toys for Tots coordinator in Jacksonville, said 7,200 children received toys last year, and that number more than doubled this year.
