Children’s Center
Annual Holiday
TOY D R I V E Through December 17th
Santa Claus is coming to town and he needs your help. Sadly his reindeer don’t always stop at every home. Over ninety-five percent of the families we see at Children’s Center live in low-income households. They struggle to pay their utilities and to have enough food on the table. Christmas presents are a luxury. You can help make the holidays special for a child in need. We serve over 400 children (ages 2 through 18) and their family members every week. Our goal is to send home a present for every child in the family. That’s a lot of toys! Having a holiday party? Ask everyone to bring a toy. Organize a toy drive at your office. Just pick up one extra toy when doing your holiday shopping. YOU can make a difference in the life of a child!
