Those donation boxes at Vance Family Medicine and the fire station in downtown Henderson are part of the inaugural toy drive sponsored by Blk Sista Productions, a local nonprofit organization with a mission to support local families facing financial challenges.

“Let’s come together to make this Christmas unforgettable,” is the message from Blk Sista Productions Founder and CEO Bessie Williams, who uses the moniker Diamond Unique.

“Drop off a new toy and help us bring joy to a child’s life this holiday. Spread the word, share the love, and let’s make this first year one to remember,” she said in information provided to WIZS about the toy drive.

In an effort to reach as many community members as possible, Williams said she hopes donations will fill up those boxes with toys for children to make a positive impact locally during the upcoming holiday season.

Toy pickup is scheduled for Dec. 20 between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. The location will be announced the week prior to pickup, Williams said.
