INEZ — A community-minded business is doing its part to see local children have presents under the Christmas tree this year. Inez Cash Express is following its 17-year tradition of lending a hand with a “fill a fire truck” and bake sale event this weekend.

The business is accepting donations of new and gently used toys, coats and children’s clothing that are clean and without damage. 

Employees of the Inez franchise will host a bake sale inside the business Friday and Saturday that will feature a variety of baked goods. All proceeds will go toward the purchase of toys for needy children.

A fire truck in the parking lot will have its doors open, where people can place their donations.

The goal is to fill the truck with items during the bake sale, but Cash Express will continue to accept contributions through Dec. 9.

Hours for the bake sale are 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Friday and 9:30 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday.
