About 2,000 families stood in line Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at the Central Alabama Toys for Tots distribution center at the Riverchase Galleria in Hoover.
“People are standing in line for hours to get toys,” said Marine Captain Walter Williams, one of the U.S. Marines who help coordinate toy distribution. “On Monday there was a line all day long, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.”
The distribution concluded Wednesday afternoon, he said.
Recipients put in online requests for toys between Oct. 1-Dec. 1.
The Marines and their volunteers interview families to determine need.
