Stuffed toy drive for kids in crisis


by Nancy Jo Smith, Managing Owner
Marketplace Cinema

When our local law enforcement responds to a call, you may not know it, but they have an important passenger riding along with them.

They always carry a stuffed animal, and if there are children involved in the call, they give the child the stuffed animal to help give them some comfort and security during their time of crisis. However, both Henderson Police Department and the Vance County Sheriff’s Office are in need of stuffed animals to give the children. Thus, we are hosting a STUFFED ANIMAL TOY DRIVE in conjunction with the opening of TOY STORY 3 this weekend. Vance County sheriff’s deputies and Henderson police officers will be on scene to receive these animals.

Hours will be as follows:

Friday: 11:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Saturday: 1:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.

Simply bring a new medium to large sized stuffed animal, and you will receive an entry into our drawing for A ONE YEAR MOVIE PASS. Pass will be good for 52 admissions, and has a retail value of $416!

Help us to help our law enforcement officers give comfort to our kids in crisis!

Thank you and we hope to see you at the movies!
