Local 10 Big Bus Toy Express begins rolling through South Florida

PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – Beep Beep! The 9th Annual Local 10 Big Bus Toy Express will be crisscrossing South Florida Friday.

Since 2014, we have collected approximately 120,000 new, unwrapped toys to benefit the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program. Last year, we collected a record-breaking 19,000 toys. In 2022, we want to go even bigger before the Big Bus heads home.

You can make it happen! Local 10 and Big Bus Miami are teaming up again to stop at a neighborhood near you. From Kendall to Coral Springs, we will be working all day to collect your generous gifts.

Eric Yutzy got things started bright and early in Miami-Dade County. In the afternoon, Kristi Krueger takes the wheel in Broward County. They’ll be joined by U.S. Marine Corps service men and women in full dress uniform, festive choirs and holiday characters. This year, our friends and sponsor, Dunkin, will be at select stops rewarding all those who give with special treats.

Following below is the Big Bus Toy Express schedule for the day. You may stop at any of those locations to drop off your donations.
