Hartselle, AL – Families across Morgan County have another chance to give back this weekend as the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office continues its annual Toy Drive for Foster Care and December Food Drive benefiting local shelters and food banks.
According to the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office, deputies and volunteers will be stationed at the Hartselle Walmart on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., collecting new toys, canned food, and other non-perishable items. The effort is aimed at helping vulnerable families after the increased demand of the holiday season.
The annual December Food Drive helps restock supplies for the Morgan County Domestic Violence Shelter and area food banks, organizations that often see shortages heading into late December. Donations can be dropped off not only at scheduled events but also at the Sheriff’s Office throughout the month.
In addition, the Toy Drive for Foster Care is held in partnership with the Alabama Department of Human Resources. The program helps ensure children in foster care receive holiday gifts, many of whom might otherwise go without during Christmas.
Sheriff’s officials say community support plays a critical role in the success of both drives, noting that even small donations can make a meaningful impact for local families in need.
Residents are encouraged to consider adding a few extra items to their shopping lists while at Walmart or to stop by the Sheriff’s Office to contribute before Christmas.
Community members with questions about donation guidelines or future collection events are encouraged to contact the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office directly or follow their official social media pages for updates.
