911 Gives Hope Volunteers Celebrate Successful Toy Drive

 911 Gives Hope and Townsquare Media are helping kids in need this Christmas. The two groups teamed up to put on a toy drive to round up gifts for kids spending time in local hospitals.

After a long effort to collect toys, officials finally delivered the toys to hospitals throughout the area.

People working on the project say they really enjoy brightening a child’s day, and say the program seems to get larger every year.

Natalie Wilzbacher said, “Last year they had a really good, really good year, probably their best year. They’ve been doing this for nine years now, and I know this year they exceeded that, they didn’t double it, but they came close. It exceeded the number of boxes and so we have gotten a lot of toys for sure.”

The toys went to kids at Gateway, St. Vincent, and the Ronald McDonald House, as well as the Evansville Children’s Psychiatric Center and ECHO.
