“All toys dropped off at our local Toys for Tots campaign go to Kaua‘i’s keiki,”said Mayor Derek Kawakami. “Mahalo to all of the volunteers and donors working to make this holiday special for families in need. ”Kaua‘i’s toy drive is organized annually by the Kaua‘i Marine Corps League Detachment #938. The mission of the Toys for Tots program “is to collect new, unwrapped toys, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.” For more information on the County’s surge testing program and to register for a test, visit http://www.kauai.gov/test.
