Local organization collecting toys for children this weekend

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The Visalia Emergency Aid Council is partnering with the Visalia V-Dubs for their fourth annual toy drive.

They will be out from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Wal-Mart on Mooney, and the Target stores on Mooney and Dinuba Boulevard.

Shortly before Christmas, the organizations will distribute the toys, along with groceries and bicycles donated by Visalia Breakfast Rotary.

"We're just looking for any unwrapped gift for a child, from babies all the way up to 16-year-old's, stocking stuffers are great, we could also use cash donations, anything that people would like to donate to a family that's in need," said Liz Wynn.

Low-income families who live in the Visalia Unified School District boundaries can still apply for Christmas distributions by visiting the food pantry on Northeast Third Avenue in Visalia.
