Albertson's of Evergreen is collecting new toys for children of needy families in Jefferson County. Jeffco Action Center will distribute the toys mid-December when parents will be able to chose one item for each of their children. If school supply distributions are any gauge for the numbers, more than 3,000 children needed help with supplies prior to starting class in August. Since then many more of the working poor have slipped into the category of needing assistance.
