From now through Dec. 11, community members and businesses can donate toys and gift cards to the CASA office, located at 1113 East Oglethorpe Highway in Hinesville. All toys must be new and unwrapped and gift cards must be at a minimum of twenty dollars. For more information call 912-876-3816 or head over to www.atlanticareacasa.com.

Wreaths for Warriors Walk
Wreaths for Warriors Walk will be hosting the 14th annual wreath laying beginning at noon Dec. 19, at Cottrell Field, Fort Stewart.
Due to the ongoing pandemic there will be no formal ceremony this year, just the wreath laying event at Warriors Walk to honor the 469 soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Beginning at noon, persons who wish to participate and help honor the 469 fallen soldiers can come and take a wreath and walk out to Warriors Walk and place it at the base of one of the white crêpe myrtle trees.
