Kendra Smith of Toledo, who moved here five months ago from Arkansas, is helped by Julie Szyskowski, right, key volunteer

coordinator, during the annual Salvation Army/Toys for Tots Christmas distribution. Ms. Smith was in line by about 5:40 a.m. yesterday at the Toledo Sports Arena to ensure she could get a few toys to give her three girls on Christmas Day. The giveaway was able to make the holiday season a little bit brighter for about 1,200 area families this year.
