Obion County, Tenn.–Woodland Mills Mayor Joe Lewis, who is also the Co-Technology Coordinator for Obion County Schools, has organized a Toy drive to help those whose homes were destroyed by the tornadoes Friday night.
Lewis said, “As many of you know, Woodland Mills was in the direct path of one of the two horrible tornadoes that ripped through Obion County. But thank God we were spared, where so many were not. To spread our blessings, we have decided to hold a Toy Drive for all those who lost everything.”
Obion County Schools will be accepting donations at each school until Friday, December 17th, by 11:30 that morning. If you would like to donate, but will not be able to make the deadline this week, Woodland Mills Civic Center will be accepting donations until December 22nd.
The Toy Drive will be held for ages 18 and younger. Gift cards are a great idea for teenagers who may be a little more difficult to buy for.
If you have any questions, please email Mayor Lewis at: jlewis@woodlandmillstn.net.
Also, if you, or a family you know, was directly impacted by the storm, please let Mayor Lewis know so that they can be added to the list.
