Community Comes Together For Benton County Sheriffs Office Toy Drive

The holiday season has arrived, and with it comes a great opportunity for the community to support local families in need.

The Benton County Sheriff's Office is holding their first toy drive, and they are encouraging residents to help brighten Christmas for area children by donating new, unwrapped toys.

BRING YOUR FAVORITE BRAND NEW TOYS FOR AREA CHILDREN

Volunteers and deputies will be stationed at the Sheriff’s Office, located at 581 Hwy 23 in Foley on Friday, December 12th. They will also have a collection box inside of the Sheriff’s Office lobby if someone can not make it to either location on December 12th.

The goal is to gather enough toys to make sure every child in participating families experiences the joy and excitement of the season. Donations will be accepted until 6 PM, and community members are welcome to stop by at any time to drop off a toy...or two.

NEW, UNWRAPPED GIFTS FOR AREA CHILDREN

The drive welcomes all types of new, unwrapped gifts. What was your favorite childhood toy? You can bring dolls, action figures, sports gear, puzzles, books, or craft sets.

Each item, no matter the size, plays a role in creating a memorable Christmas for a child who may otherwise go without.

RICE QUICK CLEAN LOCATION

An additional collection site will be hosted at Rice Quick Clean in Rice. The SWAT truck will be at this location, and ready to be filled wout toys from 2 PM to 6 PM.

Everyone is encouraged to spread the word, pick up a toy, and contribute if they’re able. With enough support, we can all make a childs holiday a little big brighter this year.

The organizers extend their heartfelt thanks to all who participate and help make this season a little brighter for children throughout the community. Thank you in advance for participating, and please share the information with those around you.
