NC “Tows for Tots” Serving Kentucky Tornado Victims

As part of the “Tows for Tots” drive, several North Carolina tow companies are taking the lead in gathering holiday donations with the goal of filling three trailers with gifts for children who have been impacted by the recent tornadoes in Kentucky. 

Local towing companies such as Honeycutt Wrecker, Carolina Towing, Olen Hensley Automotive and businesses like Bartlett Trucking are banding together to make Christmas happen for the kids in Paducah, Ky. 

Event organizer Ron Honeycutt says they are collecting toys for kids of all ages, including older kids. 

“Kids who are 12, 13 years old - they still need Santa to come to their house too," he said.  

He says more than $8,000 was raised this year to provide for over 125 local children. Honeycutt wants to extend their reach to the victims in Kentucky. 

“We just want to be a part of the community," Honeycutt said. "These tow truck drivers are entrepreneurs, they’re not just tow truck drivers. They’re not just somebody you see on the side of the road. They are a part of the community.”
