CHAMPAIGN – Local organizations hope to brighten the holidays for needy children and teens by collecting 5,000 toys and gifts in less than a month. But they're going to need a lot of help from local donors to reach that goal, which is 600 more toys than were donated in Champaign-Urbana last year.
The toy drive for The Salvation Army, sponsored by Carle Foundation Hospital, Carle Clinic and WDWS-AM and WHMS-FM radio stations, got under way today.
