Catholic Charities Toy Drive
The St. Nicholas Toy Drive is in its 15th year at Catholic Charities. This program has served over 300 families and as many as 800 children each year. Last year, Cascia students provided 140 children with Christmas gifts. Families that are eligible to participate in this years’ program have worked closely with Catholic Charities' caseworkers to identify their children’s Christmas wishes and needs. All donors who participate will truly feel the unique spirit of giving!
Cascia Hal has been given 120 children. We ask you to get together with some friends or do this with your family - help someone in need during this time of giving. Here is how it works:
- Pick a card off the tree. There is a boy tree and the girl tree each with a wide variety of ages. It has all of the important information on it - child’s name, age, sizes, and items for your gift selection. DO NOT LOSE THE CARD!!! The card is actually a sticker! It is suggested that each child receive around 3 gifts with a combined total of $50-$75
- Sign your name on the spreadsheet next to the child's name that you selected.
- Please do not wrap any of the gifts - just return them to Mrs. Coleman in a big bag. Attach the card/sticker to the outside of your big bag. Without that card Catholic Charities won’t know who to deliver the gifts to!
- December 8th is the final turn in day. It will be here fast so please don’t waste anytime picking your child and make someone’s Christmas very special!
- For those of you who would like to complete the whole experience, there is also an opportunity to assist with the distribution of gifts to the families on December 19th and 20th from 9 am to noon. If you are interested, please see Mrs. Coleman and she will give you the contact info!
