Quicksie Toy Drive

Today is Quicksie Toy Factories 31st year collecting toys from area factories on behalf of Helping Hand of Hope. Executive Director of Helping Hand of Hope, Hope Burke stated, “We teamed up with Quicksie Toy Factory, for honestly years now. When we started the affordable Christmas program, they came alongside us and have been a big partner for us every year, getting the factories and everyone involved. It is such a fun thing to see, especially with our communities having many factories, and things like that, people coming together and wanting to help our neighbors who are in need this Christmas and wanting to collect toys.” The Quicksie Toy Factory started in 1991 and has collected several hundred thousand toys for less fortunate children in our area over the last 31 years. Toys are picked up in the Quicksie cruiser and a “sleigh” provided by Coleman Allied.
