There will be NO City Council meeting tonight!
The SFC Elves, Inc., 2024 Toy Project is now underway.
The SFC Elves Toy Project is locally operated, and all toys are distributed to local children.
Last year, toys were provided to over 650 needy children from the Forrest City/St. Francis County area. Many of these children would not have had toys for Christmas if not for this project.
SFC Elves asks local residents to keep this campaign in mind as we enter the holiday season.
Toys may be delivered to the following locations in Forrest City:
1. Southern Furniture, 4000 North Washington
2. Beavers & Cline, 523 East Broadway
3. St. Francis County Museum, 419 Front Street
4. Forrest City Public Library, 421 S. Washington St.
5. First National Bank of Eastern Arkansas - North Washington Branch.
Toys do not have to be new but should be clean and in good working order.
Monetary donations will also be accepted and can be taken to any of the above-mentioned locations.
For more information, contact Kirk Billingsley at (901) 218-3955 or Justin Reeves at (870) 630-7486.
