In this time of economic stress and uncertainty, many people need help.

In the spirit of the holidays, Cash Express, LLC, is conducting its 15th annual Toy, Food & Coat Drive, collecting toys, canned food and coats for the underprivileged.

Anyone in need of help can contact Cash Express at 1-888-899-0399.

Anyone wishing to drop off items can do so at any Cash Express location. The Cash Express in Stanford is located at 302 Lancaster Street.

Used coats will be cleaned by Cash Express.

Historically, the response from the local community to this effort has been heartfelt and with open arms. The generosity of the community continues to show what the true meaning of Christmas is.

For the last 14 years, the Cash Express Toy, Food & Coat Drive has helped hundreds of thousands of families in Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama.

For more information on help or donating items, please call Cash Express at 1-888-899-0399 or 1-606-365-8066.
