Donation boxes around the Fort Worth area will be collecting toys for the local Boys & Girls Club.

The nonprofit, in partnership with Junk King Fort Worth for its second annual toy drive, has donation bins available until Thursday at:

  • 1001 Henderson St., Fort Worth, TX 76102

  • 3212 Abram Road, Arlington, TX 76010

  • 420 Johnson Road, Suite 102, Keller, TX 76248

  • 9100 N. Beach St., Fort Worth, TX 76244

The organization is looking for new and unwrapped toy donations, which will be accepted until Thursday. A spokesperson said although there are no wish-lists, residents can donate arts and crafts, board and card games, dolls, cars, and slime, which “is a big hit.” Children, part of the organization, typically range between 6 and 12 years old, of all genders.

The toys will later be taken to the local Boys & Girls Club and delivered to children in the area the following day.
