Hope for the Holidays Toy Drive held

CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) - Donations as small as five dollars can make a difference in many children's lives.

And today is the perfect opportunity for many people to help families in need.

Today is Day 2 of the annual "Hope for the Holidays Toy Drive."

The drive collects toys, gift cards and donations for Brightside for families and children.

Brightside offers professional help to families if their kids have any behavioral issues at schools or homes.

The program makes sure that children are in safe environments and receiving help for any problems they may have.

There are multiple drop off locations for the Toy Drive.

Walmart stores in Chicopee and Springfield accept donations until 6 o'clock tonight.

And today only, you can also drop off toys at Western Massachusetts Family Services in Ludlow.

Tomorrow there will be a Motorcycle Toy Run beginning at 9:30 at Walmart in Chicopee.

Then a group of riders head to Providence Behavioral Hospital in Holyoke, which is where Brighside is located.
