Area factories are teaming up to carry on one of Quicksie and The Wolf’s favorite traditions as the 33rd-annual Quicksie Toy Factory rolls out next week.
“We ask local factories to put up a box in their break room or somewhere in the factory and ask them to ask their employees to bring in new toys and put them in the box, and then we come in on Quicksie Toy Factory Day and we stop by all the factories and pick up all the toys, and we take them to Helping Hand of Hope and they distribute them for Christmas for less fortunate children,” said Quicksie Marketing Executive, and long-time Quicksie Toy Factory organizer, Jennifer Meyers.
If you don’t work at one of the participating factories but would still like to participate, the more the merrier.
“They can drop off their new toys here at the station at 233 West Dixie Avenue, Elizabethtown, Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., and the deadline is Tuesday at 9 a.m.,” Meyers said.
Meyers will accompany the toy sled, provided by Coleman Allied, as it goes to make its collections next week.
“We have 11 factories participating this year,” Meyers said. “We have actually three new factories that have never participated before, so that’s exciting and it’s growing.”
