The public is invited to attend the community lunch featuring fresh-grilled hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, and drinks. Attendees are encouraged to bring a new, sealed toy or gift item to benefit Bowie County Toys for Tots in exchange for a meal.
“This cookout is an opportunity for our community to come together for a great cause and make the holidays brighter for children in need,” said James Bramlett, FB&T Market President. “Kayla Simmons, Justin Godfrey, Destanie Waters, and the Farmers team are honored to support and partner with the Bowie County Toys for Tots program.”
