BRUNSWICK COUNTY , NC (WWAY) — First responders were lined up at the Walmart in Leland on Friday, collecting nonperishable food items and unwrapped toys.
This is an annual event called ‘Pack the Patrol Car’ and ‘Fill the Fire Truck.’
Leland Police and Firefighters showed up and showed out—gathering these items that will in turn be donated to ‘Brunswick Family Assistance.’
Executive Director Tyffanie Paganello said Friday was a great turnout.
“Without our support and the support of the Police Department and the Fire Department, and all those who donate to this program—many of those children wouldn’t have a Christmas,” Paganello said.
She said she and her team were most excited to see people going into Walmart without knowing about the event and coming out with items to donate.
