Help Santa: donate toys

The application period has ended for the Helping Santa toy drive, but the toy collection period has just begun.

The Russellville Fire Department is seeking donations of new toys – for all ages – to help fulfill the Christmas wishes of those in need in Russellville and Franklin County.

Toys will be accepted through Dec. 16 at Fire Station No. 1, on Jackson Avenue South, in Russellville.

Cash donations are also appreciated.

Without donations from the community, the Helping Santa Toy Drive would not be a success.
