Toy drive planned for children

A drive-through toy collection will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 3, for children served by CASA of Johnson and Wyandotte Counties.

The drive will be held at the CASA offices at 6950 Squibb, Mission, Kansas. The collection will be safe and contactless, according to organizers.

Those interested in donating a toy may bring gifts for toddlers through teens.

Santa Claus will hand out candy canes to donors while volunteers wearing masks will take the gifts from cars without contact. The gifts will be stored in the building.

Those who are not able to come by that day also can donate funds to the CASA website at casajwc.org, or call 913-715-4040.

Volunteers with CASA help abused and neglected children through the court and foster care system.
