(Seguin) — The community of Seguin has four days in which to gather its donations for this year’s KWED Holiday Food and Toy Drive.

The annual drive will be held Friday from 7 to 9 a.m. outside the radio station located at 609 E. Court St.

The Seguin Police Department’s Blue Santa Program, which helps provide gifts to underprivileged kids in Seguin and throughout Guadalupe County, is now collecting toys for boys and girls ages 12 and under. The Christian Cupboard, Seguin’s food pantry, is also in need of non-perishable food items so that Seguin families don’t go hungry.

Seguin and Guadalupe County officials plus group and business representatives will again all be on hand to help collect your coins, cash, checks, toys, or food donations.

In addition to toys and gifts, Blue Santa is always in need of new or used wrapping paper, scissors, tape and bows. Wrapping items don’t have to be new and can simply be last year’s leftovers.

Like toys, non-perishable food donations for the Christian Cupboard as well as cash will be collected on Friday on Court Street. Suggestions for food items include beans, rice, pasta, cereal, peanut butter and soups. Other items such as clean egg cartons, recycled bags and toiletries are also encouraged to be donated.

Local school bands and groups will also be returning to perform during this year’s KWED Holiday Food and Toy Drive. The Seguin High School Matador Band and SHS Choir will perform outside the KWED studios from 7 to 8 a.m. They will be followed by the Navarro Jazz Band from 8 to 9 a.m.

Those unable to make it Friday are encouraged to drop off donations anytime this week at KWED.

The radio station is open Mondays through Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on Fridays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
