KIMT News 3- Each year KIMT and our “Giving Your Best” partners, First Citizens Bank and Diamond Jo Casino, team up to try and help those in need by raising toy donations.

According to those heading the event, there are around 9 thousand kids that they hope to be able to help this year through this drive. Currently, they say the number of donations are low. They are asking people to bring new, unwrapped, toys to any of the drop of areas in North Iowa.

Those we spoke with you have been donating for the last five years say this is something that is important to her and her kids.

“I have kids of my own,” says Susan Hamilton, a personal banker at First Citizens Bank. “It’s not just me that is donating. I bring my kids with me so pick out toys because they should have the opportunity to pick out toys as well.”

The dates for dropping does off will end in mid December.
