🎄🚙 LIGHT UP THOSE JEEPS, WAKE FOREST! IT'S TIME TO JINGLE ALL THE WAY! 🎁✨The annual #GatherGivesBack Holiday Toy Drive & Jeep Convoy is BACK, and we're ready to make the holidays a little brighter, one toy (and one ridiculously decorated Jeep) at a time!
Gather Group & Co. is proud to once again bring our community together in support of Toys for Lil Troops / US Veterans Corps, collecting toys to help spread holiday joy to children and families.
And what better way to celebrate the season of giving than with a convoy of Jeeps decked out in holiday lights, cruising through Wake Forest and spreading a whole lot of Christmas cheer?!
🎅 HERE'S THE PLAN:
📍 Meeting Location: The Factory in Wake Forest (lower parking lot near Camp Bow Wow)
🕔 Lineup Begins: 5:00 PM
🚙 Convoy Rolls Out: 6:30 PM SHARP!
🚔 Police Escort: We're excited to have a police escort joining us again this year!
🎄 The Route: We'll cruise through Wake Forest neighborhoods, spreading holiday cheer along the way, before returning to The Factory.
🎁 YOUR TICKET TO THE FUN? A NEW, UNWRAPPED TOY!
We ask everyone participating to bring at least one new, unwrapped toy to donate to Toys for Lil Troops / US Veterans Corps. Every toy makes a difference, and together, we have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact this holiday season.
✨ NOW, ABOUT THOSE JEEPS...
We're talking Christmas lights, reindeer antlers, inflatable Santas, garland, bows, and ALL the holiday spirit you can safely fit on four wheels!
And as Mauranda always says:
"No one likes a half-ass jingler, so make sure you JINGLE ALL THE WAY!" 🤣🎄
Seriously. When in doubt, ADD MORE LIGHTS! (Just make sure your decorations are securely attached and road-safe!)
❤️ IT TAKES A COMMUNITY TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
A huge thank-you to The Factory and its incredible local businesses for welcoming us year after year, along with our generous sponsors, toy collection partners, volunteers, and everyone who helps make #GatherGivesBack possible.
Please show these businesses some love! Their support helps us turn a fun holiday tradition into something that truly gives back.
📣 STAY TUNED!
We'll be sharing our official convoy route, staging map, participating toy drop-off locations, sponsors, and additional event details right here in the event discussion.
Whether you've been jingling with us for years or this will be your first convoy, we can't wait to celebrate with you!
Let's light up Wake Forest, fill those toy bins, and make 2026 our biggest year of giving yet! 🎁❤️
