Cash Express in conjunction with the Smithville Police Department will be hosting its 3rd annual “Fill the Police Car” event on Black Friday, November 23 from 10 a.m. until 5p.m. at the business location 126 E. Bryant Street.

The police department will provide the vehicle to fill up with food, toys, and coats. This event will also include a bake sale and soup sale. The public is asked to bring new toys, canned food, and winter coats for this collection effort. All the donations will remain in DeKalb County for families in need. Monetary donations will also be accepted along with soups and bake sale items. You may also make monetary donations on Facebook.

Money and toys will go to the Smithville Police Department to be distributed; food will go to a local pantry; and coats and clothes will be donated to the clothes closet. The toy and coat drive will run through December 7 with more than 100 drop box locations in DeKalb County. For questions concerning this event, you may call 615-597-3427.
