Big Bus Toy Express rolls through South Florida for 7th straight year

PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – In spite of a global pandemic, Local 10 is committed to maintaining its community initiatives, and the annual Big Bus Toy Express is no exception. We are very happy that the Big Bus Toy Express is back for the seventh consecutive year.

This year, while following CDC guidelines and maintaining social distancing, Local 10 and Big Bus Miami are teaming up to collect new, unwrapped toys for the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program.

On Friday morning, Local 10′s Eric Yutzy and Kristi Krueger hopped on the Big Bus and will stop at several locations throughout Miami-Dade and Broward counties. You can donate your gifts in person or make a secure monetary donation online. Simply CLICK HERE and earmark your donation for “Big Bus.”

Local 10′s Big Bus Toy Express is the largest contributor of toys for the Toys for Tots program. Since 2014, some 85,000 new toys have been collected and distributed to children in need in South Florida.
