Harlan Ford Toy Drive Wrapping Up with Strong Community Support

The 10th Annual Harlan Ford Toy Drive is wrapping up its final days with an outpouring of generosity from across Okmulgee County, ensuring local foster children will experience a brighter Christmas morning. Community members, businesses and longtime supporters once again stepped forward with toy donations, financial support and helping hands. Many donors chose to remain anonymous, a reminder that the heart of the effort lies in giving without expectation of recognition. Above left, representatives of Patrons Bank show their support for the Harlan Ford Toy Drive, continuing the bank’s tradition of giving back to the Okmulgee community. Founded in Okmulgee, Patrons Bank emphasized its commitment to serving generations of local families and supporting causes that directly benefit children during the holiday season. Above right, Elaine Robinson of Okmulgee is recognized by Harlan Ford for her contribution to the dealership’s Annual Toy Drive. Her donation helped ensure toys reached local foster children in need, adding to the overall success of this year’s campaign. See additional photos of community members donating to the Harlan Ford Toy Drive on page A5.
