Burns launches holiday toy drive

Urges residents to donate unwrapped toys now through Dec. 13

EBENSBURG, Nov. 27 State Rep. Frank Burns is partnering with the Toys for Tots Program to collect holiday gifts for economically disadvantaged area children.

Burns, D-Cambria, said he and his staff are accepting donations of new, unwrapped toys at his offices in Johnstown (Lower Yoder Township) and Ebensburg through Dec. 13.

“Toys for Tots started with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve nearly 80 years ago with the goal of bringing joy and hope to economically disadvantaged kids during Christmas,” Burns said. “With prices high and budgets tight, that mission is still important. I’m urging anyone who would like to donate to bring new, unwrapped toys to my offices in Lower Yoder Township or Ebensburg.“

Burns said residents wishing to donate should bring unwrapped toys, stuffed animals, books, puzzles, games, coloring books and other gifts to one of the following office locations:

  • 535 Fairfield Ave.
    Johnstown (Lower Yoder Township), PA 15906

     
  • 123 West High St.
    Ebensburg, PA 15931

Residents with questions may call the Johnstown office at 814-536-8400 or the Ebensburg office at 814-472-8021.
