MOULTRIE — During this holiday season, the spirit of giving is alive and well in Colquitt County with several organizations hosting donation drives.

There are a few toy drives going on, right now, hosted by different agencies in the community including the Moultrie Police Department, Hero House, and the Moultrie Fire Department, in partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of Moultrie.

The Moultrie Police Department’s annual Cram the Cruiser toy drive is another opportunity to support families and children that are served by DFCS.

The event is in its sixth year and has had much success in getting cruisers crammed with donated toys ahead of the Christmas holidays. You can drop off your gifts from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. at the Moultrie Police Department, Monday — Friday, from now through Dec. 20.

A cruiser will be parked different places throughout Moultrie for toy drop-off throughout the holiday season. For more information, call the MPD at (229) 985-3131.

Hero House’s Fourth Annual Holiday of Heroes Toy Drive allows volunteers from the community to “adopt” a child and help provide them with gifts and toys for Christmas. The ages range from 3 to 17 years old and the drive will end Dec. 8. An individual or business that would like to adopt a child, can call Hero House at (229) 890-5549 or Executive Director Regina Dismuke at (229) 891-1702.
