The sixth annual Cowan Toy Drive will be held on Dec. 14. The event strives to ensure that every child in Cowan receives a Christmas present.
Previously, the toy drive route went down the smaller side streets. This year, it will go down all of the main streets, and the residents of homes on the side streets are encouraged to meet the toy trailer on the main street closest to their house.
The drive is held in a parade-style fashion with music, announcements, sirens, and doorknockers.
Volunteers for the event are asked to arrive at the Cowan Police Department no later than 8 a.m. on the day of the toy drive. The parade is expected to leave at 8:30 a.m.
Volunteers are still needed before the event to help wrap gifts, and anyone wanting to lend a hand on the day of the event is encouraged to attend.
Gifts can be dropped off at Cowan City Hall, 301 Cumberland St. E., or the Cowan Police Department, 106 Cherry St. N. When donated, they are requested to be new and unwrapped.
For further information, contact Cowan City Hall at 931-967-7318 or the Cowan Police Department at 931-962-0110.
