Gregg Lynn’s Annual Christmas for Kids Toy Drive is calling on the community for help

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (KQTV) -- JoeTown 107.5's Gregg Lynn is returning for the 26th year for the Annual Christmas for Kids Toy Drive.

Starting Oct. 12 through Nov. 20, listeners can support by donating spare change through the Christmas Coins for Kids campaign at participating sponsor locations throughout St. Joseph.

Donations from the toy drive will benefit various organizations in St. Joseph, including the Noyes Home for Children, children in the St. Joseph foster care program, YWCA and AFL-CIO Adopt-A-Family Christmas Program.

Community members can purchase gifts from the wish lists posted on the Gregg Lynn Radio Show Facebook page and website.

In addition, community members can donate new, unwrapped toys or make a monetary contribution. All cash donations will be used to purchase additional gifts for local children.

The annual toy drive will end with a live broadcast from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 27, on JoeTown 107.5. Gregg Lynn will spend the day collecting new toys and monetary donations to benefit children throughout Northwest Missouri.

As part of the annual tradition, Gregg Lynn will also host a Christmas party on Thursday, Dec. 3, for residents of the Noyes Home, children staying at the YWCA shelter, and children in foster care. The celebration will include pizza from Geneo's Pizza, music, cookies and a special visit from Santa Claus.
