MPR’s Greta Cunningham reports on Andover’s TLC Toys, and the efforts of making wooden presents for needy children at Christmas time.
The efforts began with a grandfather's desire to make wooden trucks for his grandchildren at Christmas. This simple act spawned a large organization that has given away 122,000 handmade toys to needy Minnesota children. Mel Hartman, TLC Toys founder, and his volunteers have been making and donating toys for 16 Christmas seasons.
Report includes interviews with Hartman, a young volunteer, and organization recipient.
