I want to do the toy drive I have done for the past 4 years for Metro Hospital.  The only difference is with Brenda not having her store I don't have a local drop off point anymore. 
If any friends and family would still like to contribute I will be collecting toys/donations until December 15th so I can get them to the hospital by the 17th.
