Toys For Tots Donations Down Significantly In Philadelphia

Donations collected for this year's Toys for Tots campaign in Philadelphia just a fraction of previous years, prompting organizers to warn some needy children may not get presents.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports organizers have collected about 25,000 toys as part of this year's drive. Last year they delivered 113,000.

Chief organizer Marine Staff Sgt. Marc Palos says workers are moving toys out of a suburban warehouse almost as soon as they arrive. Palos says he's having to turn down requests for toys.

Palos tells The Inquirer the economy is keeping donations down this year. Two years ago the Marines collected 93,000 toys locally.

The toy drive is entering its final sprint. Toy deliveries are set for Tuesday.
