Christian Help in Morgantown is in need of toys for its annual toy drive.

They said toys usually come in at the end of October but donations have been sparse this year.

The annual toy drive has been helping families for more than 30 years.

Organizers said last year they helped over 1,000 children and hope to help even more this year.

"It's so meaningful for a child to get toys. Not that they're just getting toys, but they're getting hope, Christmas cheer, they're getting Christ in the form of those toy that they're getting," said Lynn Keener, of Christian Help.

Toys can be dropped off at Christian Help on Walnut Street and starting Monday, at the National Guard Armory on the Mileground.

The toy drive is also in need of volunteers. If you would like to help out, contact Christian Help at 304-296-0221.
