Toys For Tots, the annual Marine Corps drive to gather toys for needy children, is held prior to Christmas each year. News 10's Rusty Garrett is the Chairman of the Central Texas drive.
The 2007 Toys For Tots drive was very successful despite the theft of some of the toys from the distribution center. Quick work by the Marines and generous contributions from Central Texans guaranteed a Merry Christmas for all the families who signed up for toys.
News 10 viewers brought new, unwrapped toys to the television station at 6700 American Plaza in Waco by the car and truck load where they will be placed around the news set. The mounds of donated toys grew until Friday, December 14th when Rusty hosted his annual "drive thru" for viewers to drive by the television station, meet Rusty and drop off toys. All of the donated toys are gathered up by the Marines and taken to their distribution center where the families of needy children were able to pick up their toys before Christmas.
