    2. We are still waiting for a few families to fill out the gift recipient survey, but we already have PLENTY of students and families in our community signed up for this year’s Toy Drive. We have 42 families consisting of 136 kiddos so far, and their wish lists are in. I encourage everyone to sign up to sponsor just one kid

    3. I usually recommend spending about $25/$30 per student 

    4. If you would like to see the identities of these families/ students to sponsor someone specific, please reach out to me and I’ll give you access to the Master List- only will be shared upon request

  2. DONATE:

    1. Any families that don’t get picked up as sponsors in our Toy Drive, I buy their presents. The money that’s used for this is all pulled from these donation pages. So if you don’t have the capacity to sponsor a child, please donate!

      1. Middle School Giving Page 

      2. High School Giving Page 

    2. Also, if you absolutely have to, I can take cash/checks, but no Venmo/PayPal/CashApp/etc.
