Omaha's Toys for Tots program is dealing with delays. Omaha Insurance Services' Jeff Smedlund tells WOWT toys have been left in their drop boxes for several weeks waiting to be picked up. Toys for Tots officials say the program was expanded this year to serve 200-thousand people, and it has been difficult to provide the logistical support to pick up from all the drop site locations.
