TUSCARAWAS COUNTY, Ohio (WOIO) - Organizers for the Toys for Tots collection for Tuscarawas County families are scrambling following a fire at a building that was storing donations.
Megan Jones is the local Toys for Tots organizer.
She told 19 News that a retired Marine graciously donated space at his business in Sherrodsville, in neighboring Carroll County, called Lincolns & Things. She added that the retired Marine has donated space for the last several years.
A fire Monday afternoon destroyed the man’s business and all of the toys being stored in the building on Dana Road SW.

The cause of the fire isn’t known.
