Sherri Stang, left, and Dawn Foster of McCook National Bank prepare to bag up donations of toys given by MNB customers to the McCook-area Christmas Toy Box Collection. Other inside drop boxes for the Toy Box are at AmPride/Baskin Robbins, First Central Bank, Eakes Office Plus and, new this year, at Adams Bank in Indianola. Outside drop-boxes are at Alco, McCook Christian Church, Wal-Mart and Dollar General. Santa's head elf Barb Ostrum asks that batteries not be left in toys and games dropped into the outside drop-boxes because they freeze and damage the toys. She said batteries can be taken to the McCook office of Community Action Partnership of Mid-Nebraska at 108 West C. The toy giveaway will be Sunday, Dec. 22, at 1 p.m., at the McCook City Auditorium at West Fifth and C. Anyone is welcome to come shopping to make Christmas brighter for any child in need.
