Marine Corps League representative Dean Aggers picked up items from Cindy’s Florist before Christmas last year. Toys can be dropped off at the Zebulon shop from now until the first week in December.
Toy drive starts now
It’s never too early for Christmas shopping and the women at Cindy’s Florist in Zebulon are encouraging others to join them in collecting gifts for the upcoming Toys for Tots drive.
Last year they donated 300 items for children of all ages to representatives from Marine Corps League 1196, who had to use several trucks to retrieve all the bicycles, skateboards, baby dolls and other toys for area children.
“We’re trying to get the whole community involved to make it bigger and better than last year,” said Robbin Ray. “We’ve already been collecting toys all this year and we’d like everyone to start buying toys now. That way it’s not such a burden for them at the end of the year.”
The toys will be stored until Toys for Tots representatives collect and distribute them right before Christmas.
“We’d love to double the number of toys this year,” said Ray. “We’ve started buying skateboards and dolls and other toys. We really do want to make it make it better than last year. We figured if we start now, we might make our goal.”
Toys that are new and still in their original packaging can be dropped off at Cindy’s Florist on Highway 19 during regular office hours, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and from 8 a.m. to 12 noon on Wednesdays. For information, call 770-567-5353.
