More than a dozen children still need to be fully adopted in the K-JO 105.5. Toyland Express.

K-JO and Olive Garden held a Toy Drive last week to benefit the Noyes Home for Children and the Adopt-A-Family program.

Out of around 30 kids staying at the Noyes Home for Children there are still 13 kids left to be fully adopted.

Aaryn Sommers with K-JO said there are many kids that only need a few items left on the list before their Christmas wishes are full-filled.

“They each need one or two more gifts,” said Sommers.

Those items must be dropped off at the studio located at 4104 Country Lane by 5 p.m. Wednesday.

More than 100 people took part in this year’s drive bringing in toys and gifts.

The extra toys will go to AFL-CIO Community Services for the agency’s Adopt-A-Family Christmas program.

“It’s for families who need toys because they can’t afford them for their family members,” Sommers said. “We’re trying to help bring a good Christmas to everyone possible.”

After all of the Noyes Home Children are adopted K-JO plans to hold a party Dec. 10 to distribute those gifts to the kids.

“We’re going to have a parade where we take all the gifts over to the Noyes Home,” said Sommers. “Olive Garden is providing dinner and we’re going to watch all the kids open the gifts and we get to see all the wonderful smiles on their faces while I cry.”

It’s the 12th year K-JO has held the Toyland Express for the Noyes Home.
