MOUNT GILEAD – The Ohio State Highway Patrol is teaming up with the Morrow County Sheriff’s Office, Mount Gilead Police Department, Cardington Police Department, and the United Way for the Cram the Cruiser event.

All donations will be transported to Kentucky to aid the local residents affected by the recent tornadoes. The event will be on Sunday, Dec. 19, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Donations can also also be dropped off at the participating law enforcement agencies through Dec. 31.

On the night of Dec. 10, severe tornadoes ripped through Kentucky, causing many casualties and massive destruction. Many people have lost their homes during these deadly tornadoes and require contributions to help them get through this difficult time.

Your local law enforcement agencies are counting on your assistance to contribute to the Kentucky residents in need. Items needed are clothing, non-perishable food, water, hygiene products, trash bags, gloves, water, diapers, pet food, and for a complete list, please visit the United Way website at www.unitedway.org.
