A two-day toy drive collected more than 10,000 unwrapped toys and more than $76,000 in cash at Surrey’s Guildford Town Centre.

The annual Toy Mountain drive, benefitting the Salvation Army, collected 10,300 toys Thursday and Friday (Dec. 6 and 7) at the mall, and collected more than $76,600 in cash donations.

Personalties from a number of local TV and radio stations will be broadcasting from the mall during the drive, sponsored by Alpine Credits and Surrey Honda. Triple O’s also provided free breakfasts for anyone who donated to Toy Mountain.
