Blondie\u2019s Trophy Room, a restaurant and bar, and Love on a Hanger, a women\u2019s clothing store, have teamed up to hosts the toy drive. Residents are urged to help make the holidays a little brighter for the community by dropping off new or used toys at either location.<\/p>\n
Love on a Hanger owner Tiffany Waters said she agreed to help because the community has helped keep her in business since 2011.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe community supports me, and I want to help support my community,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Blondie\u2019s owner Desmond Calhoon agreed, citing his Main Street restaurant has a long history of supporting the community, dating back to efforts by original owner, Patty Simmons.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen my family took over ownership of Blondie\u2019s in March, we knew we wanted to continue the tradition of contributing to the community,\u201d said Calhoon. \u201cWe\u2019re honored to be able to help give back to our town.\u201d<\/p>\n
The toy drive started this week and extends through Dec. 15. After the toys have been collected, each will be wrapped and then handed over to the Pi\u00f1ion Project for delivery.<\/p>\n
To help spur donations, Waters said she is offering a $5 store gift card for every toy dropped off at Love on a Hanger.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are accepting any toy for any age group,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
