A coronavirus pandemic has changed how it operates, but hasn’t derailed Gregg Lynn’s 19th Annual Christmas For Kids Toy Drive.
Lynn, an announcer on KESJ, Joe Town 107.5, says due to COVID-19, there will be no Christmas party for the children this year.
“The kids won’t be coming to us and seeing Santa and getting their gifts,” Lynn tells St. Joseph Post. “We’re going to deliver them as contact-less as we can to all 115 or however many kids we have; we’ll deliver them to them at home.”
Lynn says the cancellation of the party is the only change.
“Otherwise, it’s still business as usual,” according to Lynn. “There are a lot of kids in our area (who are) not going to have Christmas unless somebody steps up and gets them some gifts and that’s what we’ve done. We’ll take the gifts. We’ll get them all wrapped and get them out to the kids.”
If you wish to donate, go to the Gregg Lynn Radio Show Facebook page or on the Joe Town website [click here]. You can buy something from any list, donate any new, unwrapped toy, or make a cash donation.
Toys and monetary donations will benefit the Noyes Home for Children, St. Joseph children in foster care, the YWCA, and The Adopt A Family Christmas Program.
Lynn wraps up the toy drive on Black Friday, broadcasting live from East Hills Shopping Center.
