According to St. George News, The two nonprofit organizations work together, collecting donations, enlisting volunteers, and inviting the community to make referrals of families in need in Washington County that might benefit from the program.
KONY Coins for Kids is a nonprofit organization that began in Washington County 25 years ago, its co-chairman Brian Musso said. In addition to the fundraising and toy drive, KONY Coins for Kids vets applicants and referrals to select families that will benefit from the Coins for Kids and Toys for Tots programs as well as for Washington County’s Shop With A Cop program and The Angel Tree program.
“We work hand-in-hand,” Musso said. “Toys for Tots does a good job collecting toys, but doesn’t really have a distribution system. So, (Coins for Kids helps) distribute the toys that they collect. By working with Toys for Tots, it makes our donations go farther as we use our money on coats, clothes, and shoes for the families.”
