We want to give a very big thank you to the Morgan County community. On December 13th, we concluded our first Christmas Food Drive. Through these donations, we can provide meals for twenty-two families during the holidays.

This also could not have been accomplished without assistance from the Morgan County Visitor Center staff, who hosted a drop-off station; The Emory River Watershed Association for sponsoring and advertising this event; and Morgan County Food and Nutrition for packing up the donated food and distributing it. Thank you again to everyone for their involvement and their donations.

🎁 Frozen Head State Park’s 2nd Annual Toy Drive 🎁

Last year, thanks to your generosity, we were able to make a meaningful difference for families right here in Morgan County — and this year, we’re hoping to spread even more holiday cheer!

We’re once again collecting new, unwrapped toys to help brighten the season for local children and families. Every donation, big or small, helps bring a smile to someone’s face. ❤️

📍 Drop-off details and wish list items can be found on the poster below.

Let’s come together as a community and make this holiday season a little brighter for our neighbors! ❤️

The Holidays - The Most Wonderful (& Wasteful) Time of the Year!

The holiday season is the most wonderful time of the year, full of decorating, giving, feasting, and good cheer; but it occurs at a high cost, not only to our bank accounts but also to our environment by depleting our natural resources and filling our landfills.
Between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, Americans increase their solid waste by an estimated 25%. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, and TakeCareofTexas.org, the extra waste amounts to 25 million tons of garbage, or about one million extra tons per week.
Statistics from Stanford University show that if every family reused just two feet of holiday ribbon, the 38,000 miles of ribbon saved could tie a bow around the entire planet. If every American family wrapped just three presents in re-used materials, it could save enough paper to cover 45,000 football fields. The 2.65 billion Christmas cards sold each year in the U.S. could fill a football field 10 stories high. If we each sent one card less, we'd save 50,000 cubic yards of paper.
As we enjoy this holiday season, we need to always be mindful of our impact on the environment. While celebrating and gift-giving, we must remember to look for ways to reduce waste, recycle and save energy.

KEEP MORGAN COUNTY BEAUTIFUL!!!
