HCC Southwest College holds toy drive to spread holiday cheer

Nov 17, 2017

Houston Community College invites all students, faculty, staff and the community to share the toy, give a toy this holiday season!

Drop off a new, unwrapped toy in the toy bins located near the front desks at the HCC Brays Oaks, Gulfton, Missouri City, Stafford, or West Loop campuses.

This year’s toy drive will benefit Stafford Elementary School. Many of the children who attend the elementary school suffered damages during Hurricane Harvey and won’t have a Christmas without HCC Southwest College support. The Stafford Elementary School principal is asking for toys appropriate for ages 5-12. Suggested items include art and craft sets, basketballs, footballs, soccer balls, books, coloring books and crayons, building sets (LEGOS, Mega Bloks, wooden blocks, etc.), dolls (all ethnic groups) and educational toys.

Donations will be accepted through Sunday, December 10. HCC staff member will then deliver the toys to Stafford Elementary School before the students go on winter break.
