Columbia’s Jeeps overflowing with holiday spirit

Nothing says community like seeing two Jeep Wranglers packed to the roof with toys for local kids! Columbia neighbors came together at Logboat Brewing Company, turning a simple toy drive into a mission to fill wish lists for 40 Missouri children. The response? Over 160 toys collected—way past the original goal. Now, the hope is to fill up not just two, but maybe even five Jeeps! It’s amazing to see what we can do when everyone pitches in. If you want to join in, donations are still open at stuffthejeep.org. How do you think events like this shape our town’s holiday spirit? #Cars #ColumbiaMO #HolidayGiving
