In the spirit of the holidays, Pancake Pantry is partnering with The Toy Store, a seasonal extension of The Store’s mission, to collect new, unwrapped toys as well as wrapping paper and supplies. The Toy Store, founded by Kimberly and Brad Paisley, provides a free shopping experience for families in need to select gifts for their children, free of charge. A collection bin will be available at the Pickin’ at the Pantry show on Dec. 3, and attendees are encouraged to bring donations to support families in our community during the holidays.
