Vermont man working to collect toys for hurricane victims

SWANTON, Vt. (WCAX) – One Vermonter is getting in the holiday spirit and helping those hit hard by Hurricane Helene.

Jason Hodgdon will be filling this truck up as much as he can with donated toys, and bringing them to North Carolina to help families hit by the hurricane earlier this year.

He says that TDI in Swanton donated the trailer and Hodgdon will be driving the rig that his own trucking company owns. Once he arrives in Charlotte, North Carolina, the toys will be given to the local Shriners and they will hand them out.

He said he got the idea after seeing his grandson playing with toys and thought of the kids who may not have any.

“It just hit me that the kids down there, yeah they’re staying with family members and stuff, but they don’t have their toys,” Hodgdon said. “Its not just getting their toys for Christmas, it’s all the old toys they played with they don’t have any of that anymore.”

You can bring new toy donations to several locations up until November 30.

Those locations are Hodgdon Brothers in Swanton, Jolly Truck Stop in St. Albans, Brady and Levesque Funeral Home in St. Albans, and Two Boots Saloon in Milton.
