## Story

Wireless Zone is holding its annual Toys for Tots toy drive, and the Lockport location is hoping to increase its donations this year.

Sales director Tim Steenberg explains that his Wireless Zone did something a little different this year: they purchased toys in advance.

"We felt like if we could make it really easy for people to donate and take action, we could fill up more boxes," he said.

Buying toys ahead of time enables customers to simply donate as little as $1 and choose something to drop in the box. Wireless Zone will then use the extra monetary donations to purchase more toys.
