From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 6, 2025, you can drop off toys and nonperishable food items at Kellerman Investigations in Glen Carbon. Attendees can enjoy cookies, cocoa, photo opportunities and raffles while donating to Toys for Tots and St. Cecilia Food Pantry.

“Anything that somebody can do, whether it's canned goods or a couple of toys, that collectiveness is community,” said Kimberly Brown, who organizes the drive.

With each toy or food item donated, attendees will receive a raffle entry. Kellerman Investigations has over $1,200 worth of gift cards and raffle items available. Brown thanked the businesses in the Edwardsville and Glen Carbon communities for donating toward the raffle.

The event on Dec. 6, 2025, encourages people to come out, donate and enjoy the holiday cheer. For more information about the Dec. 6 event, visit the official Facebook event page.
