Farm and Home Supply donates to local Toys for Tots

 

[December 10, 2022] 

On Friday morning, the Lincoln Farm and Home Supply offered up a remarkable gift to the local Toys for Tots drive. The corporate offices had distributed approximately $60,000 in toys to all of its stores with the Lincoln Store receiving three pallets to be donated to the Logan County toy drive.

Toys for Tots coordinator said there were 138 gifts in the three pallets, most of them large ticket items that will make Christmas morning much more pleasant for local children whose holiday might not have been quite so bright otherwise.

Gathering together before the toys were loaded was Gaydosh, joined by Farm and Home store Manager Rick Wilson, Assistant Manager Bob Rankin, Seasonal Goods Department Head Dough Fink, U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant Rangel, and representing the Local Marine Corps League, Toys for Tots Coordinator Raymon Gonzales.

After a few photos, including one with several members of the Farm and Home staff, the group headed to the front of the building to load up the pallets into the Toys for Tots van.

Gaydosh said that the gift from Farm and Home would be added to the collection of Toys for Tots boxes throughout the community. Later on Friday afternoon, volunteers would gather at the Lincoln Rural Fire Protection District station where that items would be sorted out by age and gender if applicable.

All the toys would be laid out for easy shopping for parents on Saturday.

Gaydosh said the gift from Farm and Home was remarkable. She said thank to the efforts of the company to support the local Toys for Tots in each of the communities they serve, there were hundreds if not thousands of children who would have a happy Christmas this year.
