CALLING ALL OF BILL'S ELVES!
KENS 5 and Weather Chief Bill Taylor are hosting the annual Bill’s Elves Holiday Toy Drive to help collect toys and donations for underserved children in San Antonio.
Many of these children come from homes where there is no Christmas, no presents, no tree. The Bill’s Elves Toy Drive is one small way we can give back to our community!
Become one of Bill's Elves and make a difference for a local child! Thanks to your generous donation, we can help make this Christmas one to remember. When it comes to community, KENS Cares!
