Annual toy drive begins this week

Kingdom Builders Ministries is seeking donations of new and gently used toys, which they plan to give away. Anyone willing to donate is asked to drop off toys at the former Common Ground building — now home to Holy Smokes — at 103 Ave. C in Cloquet, during business hours from Dec. 12 through Dec. 15. Kingdom Builders volunteers will sort the toys. The toy giveaway will take place 9-10 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 16 in the large gathering space behind the restaurant.
