LAWTON, Okla. (KSWO) - With each passing day we’re getting closer and closer to our event of the year -- Share Your Christmas.

The annual event is happening from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. this Friday, December 9 at the Walmart on Sheridan Road and Quanah Parker Trailway.

We’ll be collecting food and toys for the Lawton Food Bank and the Salvation Army, with a large truck at each location.

The store manager at the Walmart on Quanah Parker said he’s been a part of the annual event since it began and has seen tremendous growth.

He also said the community works hard to help give back, even circling back when they found out the event is happening.

“The customers inside of the store, a lot of them aren’t always aware of what we’re doing and there’s lots of questions,” Tim Kraus said. “When they find out, a lot of them go back into the store, get more stuff, and then try to help out the community that way.”

Our goal, like every year, is to fill up our trucks at both locations with new toys and non-perishable food to help provide for the community.

The event was originally scheduled for Wednesday but has been rescheduled to Friday due to adverse weather
