The Marine Corps League, organizing the annual 'Toys for Tots' toy drive for families in need in the Northern Nevada region says local Walmart stores have removed donation boxes from area locations.

The group says managers at the Topsy Lane location told them they were instructed by Walmart's corporate office not to allow the donation bins because Walmart as a corporation was only allowing donations to be made to the Children's Miracle Network.
