CHOK's 45th annual Gift of Christmas toy drive was officially launched today at McDonald's Christina St. location.

Donations go to the Salvation Army for its Christmas gift hampers for needy families.

Major Rick Pollard says the need has increased as much as 3 per cent this year.

Last year, over 600 families were in need of gift hampers.

Unwrapped toys can be dropped off at the three Sarnia McDonalds or here at Blackburn Radio at 1415 London Rd.
