Toys for Tots for Beaver County is managed in a donated space on  Merchant Street in Ambridge.  Under the direction of Linda McKenzie , of Economy,  this past  weekend 800 families was able to receive  4 to 5 toys per child.  Linda  volunteered for 5 years before she took on the new role as the coordinator.  She started  working in September and worked with 15 to 20 volunteers to collect and process all of the toys from over 160 drop off points throughout  Beaver County.  Included in the volunteers are her family members husband John and children Cody 21, Kory 11, and Jessie 16.  When asked how many hours she puts  towards Toys for Tots and she laughed while saying  endless hours.  Volunteer John Shee, from Freedom, has been involved with Toys for Toys Beaver County for four years and says it takes about 2 weeks to bag the toys  and he tries to give the kids what they like.
