The Pine Technical College Student Senate is in the midst of hosting a toy drive benefitting Beyond the Yellow Ribbon, a nonprofit agency (a part of the Minnesota National Guard) that provides assistance to families of military service personnel.
Through Friday, Dec. 3, students, staff members, faculty members and anyone in the community may drop off unwrapped, new toys at PTC. People should look for the blue shopping cart at the college's main entrance.
"Teaming up with Beyond the Yellow Ribbon is such a worthy cause," says Torfi Arnarson, PTC Student Senate President. "This is one way we can say 'thanks' to servicemembers and add to a child's holiday -- it's part of being a community," Arnarson adds.
Gifts should be valued at no more than $10, and all items are locked during non-business hours. For more information, contact Amanda Spencer, PTC Student Senate Advisor, 320-629-5127.
