It’s that time of year again — bells are ringing and choirs are singing, but this holiday season isn’t one to have the blues thanks to WFAA’s annual toy drive.

Santa’s Helpers is celebrating 55 years of collecting holiday toys across Tarrant, Denton, Dallas, and Collin counties. Last year, the drive provided toys to 50,000+ local children.

Between Wednesday, Nov. 27 and Friday, Dec. 20, drop off new, unwrapped toys appropriate for infants through teenagers at any local Albertson’s, Tom Thumb, Amazon, or Milestone Electric stores.
