Utah factory run by volunteers gives away all the toys for free

A long-haul truck driver recently walked into Tiny Tim’s Toy Foundation in West Jordan, Utah, and asked for a box of toys. Alton Thacker gave him five, each packed with 125 cars.

"He stopped at children's hospitals along his truck route and handed them out," said Thacker, 83, a retired barber who started the toy factory 16 years ago. "And I know he'll be back for more. Seeing all those little smiles is a great motivator."

The cars - simple wooden toys with a painted smile - are made at the factory and given free to children in need around the globe through charities, churches, children's hospitals and sometimes truckers who stop by for a box.
