Toys For Tots Still Seeks

Donations For Holidays

It is a chilly morning, but that didn't keep Desiree Wheeler and the Hillside Commons Bear from standing outside the annual Fill The Bus event to benefit Toys For Tots Drive at the Southside Mall this morning. The bus, provided by OPT in conjuction with Hillside Commons, will be at the mall from 9am-11am on Saturday. Toys can still be dropped off at many locations around town before they are collected on December 14th. "I didn't get a lot of toys this year." said organizer Sharron Wheeler, "I am still about 700 toys short. I hope our County can step up to help the kids this Holiday season." If you would like more information, or, to drop off toy donations, call 607.432.7052. (Ian Austin/AllOTSEGO.com)
