More than 4,600 toys collected during the Big 10TV Toy Drive

Last year, more than 11,000 children in central Ohio received new toys.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Every child deserves a toy at Christmas. Unfortunately, not every family can provide that Christmas cheer. That is especially true today.

That's why WBNS-10TV teamed up with the Salvation Army of Central Ohio, Safe Harbor Retirement Group, Ricart Automotive, Walmart and the Columbus Blue Jackets for the Big 10TV Toy Drive.

During the Big 10TV Toy Drive-Thru on Thursday, our holiday elves collected more than 4,600 toys. On Friday, December 8 – and then again on Sunday, December 10, Columbus Blue Jackets fans can drop off toys during home games at Nationwide Arena.

The Big 10TV Toy Drive supports the Salvation Army's Christmas Cheer program, a true holiday experience for families that may need a little help this time of year. The toy drive gives that program a big boost by offering Central Ohio residents and local businesses a chance to provide the toys that the Salvation Army will then give away in mid-December.
