Giant Food Collects Toys for Tots

Toys will be collected at neighborhood Giant locations.

The grocery store chain  Giant Food has partnered with the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation to collect toys for underprivileged children at area stores.

Giant, based in Landover, Md., also donated $25,000 on Monday to support children in need across the mid-Atlantic region. Toys will be collected at 170 Giant stores throughout the holiday season.

This year marks the second year of a partnership between the two organizations.
