‘Toys for Tots’ program bringing children joy for the holidays

WASHINGTON COUNTY, Pa. — Dozens of special delivery trucks pulled up to a Washington County church -- fire trucks from North Strabane and Bentleyville and more -- all filled to the brim with toys!

Channel 11 was there as firefighters unloaded them and took them inside the church that looks like it was transformed into Santa’s workshop.

Toys for Tots volunteers are going through all of the toys and organizing by age group.

Sally Pallesco’s husband, a Marine, started the Toys for Tots in Washington County 16 years ago. She says he passed away but would be proud of how it’s grown. She continues to volunteer for the children.
