Toys for Tots behind on donations; drive ends Friday

by Emily Genco | 12/13/2012 - 7:00am

Sometimes Santa Clause needs a little extra help gathering presents for all the children on his list.

Friday is the last day to contribute to the Salvation Army Toys for Tots drive. While donors won’t get milk and cookies – customary thanks for Saint Nick – they will help realize the Christmas wishes of children in Dane County.

This year the drive is behind in collections compared with last year’s donations, said Staff Sergeant Edward J. Vinogroski, Toy for Tots of Madison coordinator.
