Local Office Is Toys For Tots Drop-Off Location

Kathryn Colvin, the local Edward Jones financial advisor, is supporting the US Marine Corps Toys for Tots program by using her office as a drop-off location for this year’s toy drive. Local residents may help needy children in the area by bringing in a new, unwrapped toy to the office, 305 E. Fairmount Ave., Lakewood, during regular business hours beginning now through Dec. 17. Monetary gifts cannot be accepted. “With the holiday season around the corner, we are all getting ready for the festivities,” Colvin said. “And as this is the season of giving, now is a great time to remember the less fortunate in our community.”
