SUMMARY: The Toys for Tots toy drive is underway in Ponto and Union counties, led by Katina Davis of Weared Well. Taking over from Dr. Mlan, who retired after coordinating the campaign for several years, Davis aims to ensure that the nearly 500 children in need receive gifts this Christmas. The drive seeks new, unwrapped toys for infants up to 12 years old, and various drop-off locations are available, including Busy Lad, Dollar Tree, and Weared Well.
