Joke Walmart Party Transforms into Toy Drive

New Jersey man Drew Delgado converts a humorous Facebook event into a charitable toy drive, with over 37,000 people expressing interest.

Drew Delgado, a New Jersey man, jokingly created a Facebook event for a 'Walmart self-checkout party', which unexpectedly garnered interest from 21,000 people.
Delgado transformed the joke event into a toy drive, with the number of interested Facebook users rising to 37,000 and 6,500 planning to attend.
Although Walmart declined to host the event, Delgado arranged for the Lacey Elks Lodge in Forked River, New Jersey, to be the venue for the toy drive on December 15.
Participants are asked to bring unwrapped gifts, and the event will feature appearances from Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus.
Delgado and his wife hope to make the toy drive an annual event, and have set up an Amazon wishlist for those unable to attend in person.
