A toy drive will be held on Wednesday, November 2nd at the Walmart Supercenter on Chestnut Street in Junction City.
Toys and donations will be accepted from 5:00 pm until 8:30 pm for children aged birth to high school. Volunteers with large boxes will be setup outside of Walmart.
All toys will go to children in Junction City, Grandview Plaza, and Fort Riley (including USD 475 students). The group plans to provide toys for up to 400 local children.
Students and parents have submitted lists to teachers asking for three items that they’d like to receive for Christmas (suggested items from the list below).
If you donate a toy, please do not buy stuffed animals (children may have allergies) and if your toy requires a battery, please donate the required batteries with the toy.
Flint Hills Harley Group #1508 riders will also be outside of Walmart with their motorcycles to take pictures with children.
The Toy Run will be on Saturday, November 5th and will benefit local children as well.
