OKEECHOBEE — Sharon Covey, the local Edward Jones financial advisor, is supporting the Okeechobee Toys for Tots program by using her office as a drop-off location for this year’s toy drive.

Local residents may help make a difference for children in the area by bringing in a new, unwrapped toy to the office, 107 SW 17TH ST #J Okeechobee, during regular business hours now through Dec. 15. Monetary gifts, including gift cards, cannot be accepted.

“Our purpose at Edward Jones is to make a positive difference for our clients, colleagues and communities. Serving as a collection point for the Toys for Tots drive is one way we can join with our community and deliver on that purpose,” COVEY said. “And now, in the season of giving, it’s an ideal time to remember others in our community.”

Online shoppers may have the items delivered to Antoinette Buxton at 107 SW 17TH Street Suite J, Okeechobee FL 34974 through Dec. 15.
