OKEECHOBEE — Sharon Covey and the local Edward Jones financial advisor are 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 needy children in the area by bringing in a new, unwrapped toy to the office, 107 S.W. 17th St., Suite J, in Okeechobee. Please call ahead to drop off something, at 863-357-4724, during regular business hours beginning Nov. 30 through Dec. 17. Monetary gifts cannot be accepted.

“With the holiday season around the corner, we are all getting ready for the festivities,” Covey said. “And as this is the season of giving, now is a great time to remember the less fortunate in our community.”
