URGENT! New Toys Needed Now For Toys For Tots in SE Minnesota

If you did a bit of online shopping on Black Friday this year, you helped break a record. According to NPR, online shoppers spent $10.8 billion alone and retailers were throwing out massive deals to make that happen.

Minnesota wasn't absent in that feeling of financial pressure. But thanks to people just like you, over 32,785 toys were available for kids right here in Southeast Minnesota last year. 32,785! And this year, that Christmas magic is happening again with your help.
