HONESDALE, WAYNE COUNTY -- From toy classics like "Candyland" to crayons, there's quite a variety of toys and stocking stuffers to choose from at the Toys for Tots warehouse.
It's located along Route 191 north of Honesdale in Wayne County. Shari Tirado says, "We've been able to service all the families. Unfortunately we haven't been able to give as much as we have been able to give in the past. Normally the children get between 4-5 toys. This year: two."
The good news is that more toys have been coming in over the past few weeks from other counties pat that, such as Lackawanna and Monroe.
This is after donations were down by more than 90 percent from last year. Toys coming from this particular site also service Pike County after organizers say the Marne Corp. Reserve became overloaded.
The last day for donations to be accepted is Tuesday, December 22 from 9am to 4 pm.
