Georgia Northwestern Technical College (GNTC) is collecting toys for children in Northwest Georgia as part of its annual Toys for Tots donation drive.

The holiday community service project is being organized by GNTC’s Student Government Association and FBLA Collegiate student organizations, with donations being accepted through December 9.

The college is asking community members, students, faculty and staff to donate new, unwrapped toys that will be distributed to children ages 12 and younger in the communities GNTC serves.

Donations can be dropped off at the Help Center on any GNTC campus, including the college’s campuses in Floyd, Walker and other Northwest Georgia counties.

The donation drive began November 2 and will continue through Wednesday, December 9, giving residents several weeks to contribute before Christmas.

GNTC says the effort is designed to help make the holidays brighter for children who might otherwise go without Christmas gifts.

Anyone with questions about the Toys for Tots drive can contact Larry Blanchard at LBlanchard@gntc.edu.

The college encourages community members to participate by donating a new, unwrapped toy at their nearest GNTC campus Help Center.
