Nevada Wal-Mart Stores Pull Toys for Tots Donation Boxes

The Marine Corps League, organizing the annual "Toys for Tots" toy drive for families in need in the Reno/Sparks area, said local Wal-Mart stores have removed donation boxes from area locations.

The group said it had donation boxes set up at area Wal-Mart locations, but has now learned that Wal-Mart has removed those boxes. A representative for the group said they have not yet been able to get a clear answer from the stores as to why the boxes were removed, but one store official told them the donation boxes go against Wal-Mart's no-soliciting policy.

The group told Channel 2 News they were instructed to contact Wal-Mart's corporate offices, but they have yet to have their phone calls returned.
