King City Toy Drive Seeks Donations

King City, CA – King City Toy Drive officials are asking the community to donate new, unwrapped toys for area children 17 years of age and younger. Many children, pre-teens and young teens may not receive gifts this holiday season without the dedication, collaboration, and generosity of the community.
