Summer Fun Collection Day for Children on Saturday

In conjunction with the Dump Your Junk event, there will be a Summer Fun Collection Day for children on Saturday.

From 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Stephens County Public Works Department will be accepting items to give to children in Stephens County who are in need of summer activities.

Dena Brawner with the Stephens County Public Works Department told WNEG why they do this event.

“Each time we have Amnesty Day we see a lot of items come through that are too good to be discarded,” said Brawner. “These toys will be great for some children looking for something to do during the Summer months so we decided to do it during Amnesty day.”

Brawner said it is a great opportunity for you to move some things and help someone too.

“That way some people that don’t have a way to discard these now have a way to get rid of some good items from home.”

Items such as balls, coloring books, puzzles and more will be accepted.

Brawner told WNEG what will be done with the toys after they are collected.

“We have a time set up for some parents and with CASA. These people have been identified through the school system or CASA and they will come by and pick up the toys,” she said.
