Toy haul smaller this year for Toys for Tots campaign in DeKalb

People were giving toys to Toys for Tots at Walmart on Sunday, but the donations were not enough to fill their truck, as coordinators had planned.

Toys for Tots coordinator Stefan Kristen said so far this year has been one of the slowest years for donations so far in the 16 years that he has participated.

“I don’t know if people are having a hard time making ends meet,” Kristen said. “We’re not having the donations that we usually have.”
