Cherokee Firefighters Collect Toys For Tots
Residents can drop off new, unwrapped toys at all Cherokee fire stations between now and Dec. 18 for the Toys for Tots program.
Along with protecting residents from fires, Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services is now giving back to less fortunate children.
The agency is now collecting toys for Atlanta Toys for Tots. Between now and Dec. 18, residents can drop off new, unwrapped toys at a Cherokee County fire station for the campaign.
The initiative covers 17 metro Atlanta counties. Cherokee Fire Chief Tim Prather noted the program is "very special" to him, as he's been participating since he was on active duty in the United States Marine Corps since the late 1970s.
