Toys for Tots is in full swing in Pagosa Springs, with drop-off boxes located around town until Dec. 18.

Drop-off boxes are located at Goodman’s Department Store, Ruby M. Sisson Memorial Library, Coates Collision Center and Exodus Shipping.

The Toys for Tots program is working with the local Salvation Army affiliate, Justice Ministries, to distribute the toys in the days following Dec. 18.
