Tower Of Toys Teams With Toys For Tots To Bring Milford Joy

MILFORD, CT ? For the third year running, Toys For Tots is teaming up with the Milford Firefighters IAFF Local 944 to hold the Tower of Toys and provide children with gifts this holiday season.

The Tower of Toys event is scheduled for Dec. 9 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the ?Drop Zone,? 140 Beach Ave., the location for the final collection day.

Andrew Krochko, Tower of Toys Milford representative, said their goal each year is to provide a full range of toys and gifts for the community's less fortunate children and teens.

To make it a little easier for people to give, the Tower of Toys is introducing a new twist this year.

They have set up a virtual toy box through Amazon for the community to experience the same joy of giving by purchasing and shipping gifts directly to the ?Drop Zone.? All Amazon-delivered gifts will need to arrive on or Before Dec. 9.

"It's so wonderful and rewarding to see how this program has grown over the past 10 years," Krochko said. "We could not be prouder of the way that our community has responded in the past and look forward to an even brighter future as this event continues expanding to assist local families in need."
