Every year millions of children go without food, new clothes, or toys for Christmas. So this year Communities for Change is making a difference and holding a community drive.
The drive began Monday and will conclude Friday, Nov. 30. That way the toys and other items can go to people in time for Christmas. C4C members think this is good for showing teenagers and others another way to make a difference in their community.
Danielle PaezAngulo said, “I think it’s a good idea because many families don’t have the money to buy their kids toys for Christmas.”
The group is asking students to bring their donations of canned food and new or gently used toys and clothes to their ZAP class. The class that brings the most will earn a reward.
C4C advisor Jessica Kucenski said, “The winning ZAP class will receive a doughnut or hot chocolate party.”
C4C is working with “The Stuff Bus” foundation as well as Mission Community Church and other local food pantries.
