With a toy drive, chili cook-off, and holiday decorations going up downtown, there's a lot to get you in the holiday spirit in Greer this week.
The Greer Police Department is gearing up for the 37th annual Cops for Tots event. Organizers are accepting new, unwrapped gift donations in the lobby of the Police Department at 102 S. Main Street through December 4th. You can also donate by check or online.
Over the past 37 years, this program has helped thousands of kids receive Christmas presents.
"This is a very expensive program to run, and 100% of these resources come from our community," Chief Matt Hamby of the Greer Police Department said.
