A DeWitt County non-profit is calling on the community to help support its efforts to provide those less fortunate in our community with a quality Christmas.

On the WHOW Morning Show Thursday, Shawn Horve with DeWitt County Toys for Tots told the Hart Media Group Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm at Tractor Supply in Clinton, you can drop off toys in a friendly competition among DeWitt County first responders.

According to Horve, older kids - ages 10-and-up - tend to be more difficult to buy for, and he is hoping the community will focus its giving on those older youth.

Horve is focused on keeping as much of his shopping local. He has drop-offs set up at several locations around Clinton.

Find the DeWitt County Toys for Tots on Facebook or visit Toysfortots.org and find the DeWitt County tab under 'Request a Toy'. 

We'll have more with Horve next week on getting signed up for this year's program at the Hart Media Group.
