“Gently used toys, kids games, kids books, can go to The Toy Shop in North Saint Paul (same building as florist),” the City said on Facebook. “They provide needy families with toys, games, books. So when you are clearing out items your kids have outgrown or no longer use, there are other kid's who would love to have them!”
