Toy drive

A toy drive will be held Saturday at the Walmart at 8280 N. Cortaro Road.

Chicanos Por La Causa Inc. will hold its 34th annual CPLC Para Los Niños Holiday Party on Saturday, Dec. 2, in South Tucson.

The group will give away free toys to children at the event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the parking lot of Food City, 2950 S. Sixth Ave.

The giveaway is free and open to the community, according to a news release from the organization.

At the event, children will receive a new toy, treat-filled stockings and the opportunity to meet Santa and his elves who will be passing out cookies and candy. There will also be free food and entertainment for the entire family.

The event is sponsored by the nonprofit organization, Food City, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, Oportun Lending and Cenpatico.

Chicanos Por La Causa is holding similar events in Phoenix and Yuma and expects to give out 10,000 toys combined at all three events.
