TOYS 4 TOTS
The Platte Valley ABWA is coordinating the local TOYS 4 TOTS collection process for the holiday season.
Collection boxes in the Murray/Beaver Lake area are located at Murray State Bank, Conestoga elementary school, 75 Mart, Lake Ridge Clubhouse and Murray Building and Supply. The boxes of toys will be picked up starting December 9th, so please remember to pick up a couple of toys the next time you're out shopping and drop them in the boxes before that time.
Toys should be new and UNwrapped and must NOT require batteries for operation.
Applications for toy recipients are being taken through 3:30 p.m. on December 2nd.
The toys will be distributed on Friday, December 23rd. Please call Southeast Nebraska
