Load the Lobby.

It's that time of year where we need your help to load our lobby to help children in our area.

The 12th annual Load the Lobby campaign will officially end Friday at 9 a.m.

The 12th annual Load the Lobby campaign will officially get underway this Monday morning and will run through 9 a.m. December 11. Like everything else this year there are a few changes in what we can accept.

Ten years ago I came up with the thought that people just might want to take their kid's toys they no longer use and drop them off at Y101 Radio so they can be given to the Salvation Army for kids less fortunate in the area.

I had the honor of listening to a six year old explain why she wanted to help other kids this Christmas, what she wanted to do to help and what she ended up doing to help.

Salvation Army Toy Town distribution. It's fantastic! However, you won't find many gifts for that tween/teen on Santa's list.

We are asking that you help us Load the Lobby with brand new or good used toys for the less fortunate children in the area.

The 10th annual Load the Lobby campaign is down to its final 10 days and ends December 14th and we really need your help.

You may never get to see the smiles on these children's faces Christmas morning, but rest assured those smiles will be from ear to ear thanks to you. Merry Christmas!

Unfortunately, there are kids who will look at an empty floor under their tree when they wake up on Christmas morning. This should never happen.
