• Bigger Need, but Bigger Donations Coming in for Marines Toys for Tots (921wlhr.com) — Families who requested Toys for Tots gifts but haven’t picked them up yet can still arrange pickup from the Royston warehouse or send someone on their behalf. Organizers say need is up across Franklin, Hart, and Elbert counties, but donations are also surging, and Royston drop sites like the police department and local Dollar General stores are still accepting toys, especially for ages 11 and up.
