ALBANY, GA -- An unwrapped toy was the price of admission for a gospel concert in Albany Sunday evening.

United for Life Ministries put on the concert. All of the toys collected went to the Toys for Tots program.

“It's better to give then it is to receive. So we feel like we're giving back. God has blessed us so we're giving back to the community,” said musician Allen Smith.

Two boxes were filled by the crowd. Marines came by and picked up all the toys after the concert.
