## Story

Wireless Zone in North Warren partnered with the United States Marine Corps for the Annual Toys for Tots drive to help less-fortunate children in the area have a brighter holiday season.

According to the Times Observer, the Wireless Zone in North Warren has been open for six years. Store Manager, Chris Drexel says that the store has been participating in the drive since the store opened.

"This is a franchise, not a corporation," Drexel said. "We really do a lot to reach out to the community. We want to give back to the community because it's the right thing to do, not because we have to.

At the end of the drive, the company will tally the number of items collected and match that for the total donation effort.
