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.
