Exeter Spare Change Collection For Special Olympics

There will be a special toll on Saturday at one of the entrances to Hansen's Independent Supermarket in Exeter.

Volunteers with the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics will be collecting spare change from drivers as they enter the parking lot. The toll will be set up from 9am to 1pm.

All the money collected will directly support the Special Olympics program and Huron County Special Olympians.

"The voluntary road toll is certainly our number one fundraiser in terms of money raised so please stop by this Saturday and donate what you can," says Huron County OPP Sergeant and County Torch Run Coordinator Russ Nesbitt. "In advance, I thank you for your kindness and generosity supporting the Ontario Special Olympics Program."
