   Is Twilight Artist Col. still accepting toys for Treehouse Foundation?

   Is there anywhere else in the area for Toys for Tots?

   Feedback Lounge for Toys for Tots, they are doing a Tots for Toys promo (tater tots if you bring in a toy).

   We have some of these listed on the Holidays page.

   But better yet, all your local community centers have a toy drive under way. I can't find the official announcement anywhere but I got a hard-copy flyer (which is not handy now either) when covering a story at Alki CC the other night. Take an unwrapped toy to your nearest comm. ctr. stat.

   As for whether they go to "local" kids ... many of these drives have to have a central processing point that may be outside WS. But ultimately WS kids benefit too.

   P.S. Re: ultralocal - check w/ the WS Helpline to see what they need. Coats, last time I heard.

   Thanks TR; yes, I would prefer donations to local WS Helpline which provides help directly to local folks and kids; in addition to coats, they can use shoes and clothes for kids and adults; I will contact Anna to see if they also accept/distribute toys to local kids, or if she knows of any other organization in WS that collects toys for WS kids
