Christie's RV & Prouse Chevrolet are trying to stuff a truck and trailer for Christmas Cheer! Throughout November and December, you'll see volunteers and community partners come together to fundraise at nine unique drop off sites.
They'll be collecting donations of toys, winter clothes and non-perishable food items to help the 1500+ families that request assistance from Christmas Cheer during the holidays.
This fundraiser will start at Rome's Independent Grocery Store on Nov. 11 and 12. You'll even see them collect donations with their float on the route during the Rotary Santa Clause parade!
