Toys for Tots is back

New distribution event scheduled for Kimball County The weather is growing colder and the days are getting shorter, which, among other things, means Christmas is quickly approaching. And as they’ve done in past years, Toys for Tots personnel are keen to make sure every child in Cheyenne and Kimball Counties has the best holiday season possible. Applications opened Nov. 2 and will run through Dec. 11. This year’s local coordinator, RuthAnn Emerson with the Cheyenne County Rotary Club, said the group is adding a distribution event in Kimball County this year. “We always served Kimball County but we’ve never had a distribution event there, to my knowledge,” she said. Emerson continued that last year, the group served 100 families and only eight were in Kimball County. “So I just feel like there’s more to help (in Kimball),” she said. This is Emerson’s first year as coordinator and she said her “big change” involves increasing Kimball County interaction.
