SYLACAUGA, AL – The 9th Annual Stuff the Studio Food and Toy Drive wrapped up late last week, leaving a lasting impact on families across the region.
Benefiting Alabama Childhood Food Solutions (ACFS) and the Sylacauga Alliance for Family Enhancement (SAFE), this cherished holiday tradition brought together residents, businesses, and community leaders in an outpouring of generosity and support.
The event collected non-perishable food items, new toys, and monetary donations to help local families during the holiday season. Drop-off locations and sponsors included Heritage South Credit Union, Chick-fil-A, Tempforce client locations, Tony Serra Ford, Serra Honda of Sylacauga, Serra Nissan of Sylacauga, Raucsch Coleman Homes, Southern Smiles of Sylacauga, and SWEN The Printers.
