Winchester, TN – The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office is kicking off the holiday season with its annual toy collection event, rebranded this year as the “Trailer of Treasures” Toy Drive. Deputies will be collecting new and unwrapped toys on Saturday, November 22, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Walmart parking lot at 2675 Decherd Blvd. in Winchester.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the community’s generosity last year filled multiple patrol vehicles, prompting the department to expand the effort and “upgrade” from cruisers to a full trailer. Each donated toy will help brighten Christmas morning for children throughout Franklin County.
Organizers say the event aims to spread joy and relieve holiday stress for local families in need. Residents are encouraged to stop by during the four-hour window to drop off toys of any size or value.
“Each donation, big or small, helps make a difference for kids right here in Franklin County,” the department said in its announcement.
Community members who can’t attend are invited to share the event details or coordinate group donations to help fill the trailer before Thanksgiving.
