The Grays Harbor area Edward Jones financial advisers will use their offices as drop-off locations for the 2016 Salvation Army Toys for Tots program.

Residents can help needy children in the area by bringing in a new, unwrapped toy to any Grays Harbor area office during the holiday season.

“With the holiday season around the corner, we are all getting ready for the festivities,” Montesano financial adviser Steve Poler said. “And as this is the season of giving, now is a great time to remember the less fortunate in our community.”

East County Edward Jones branches are at 302 South Sylvia Street in Montesano and 305 W. Waldrip St. in Elma.

The local Edward Jones financial advisers include: Brandon Klinger, Jason Olsen, Poler, Jim Boora, Garett Folkers, Mike Bozich, Josh Steele, Miles Longenbaugh, Frank Majeski and Lisa Smith.
