HELENA — Toys For Tots needs volunteers this week to help with sorting and distributing thousands of toys for families across the community.
Organizers say they have over 800 families signed up this year, and not enough volunteers to help distribute toys.
They are particularly in need of family shoppers for Saturday, December 20, to fill time slots between 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
“Helena Toys for Tots is run 100% by volunteers. We do not use the drive-thru method of toy distribution. We prefer the personal and more dignified approach of setting up Santa's Toy Shop and letting the parents come in and pick out toys for their kids,” wrote the organization on social media.
More information about how to sign up can be obtained by emailing helena.mt@toysfortots.org.
