XMAS TOY DRIVE

Toy Drive for Family Ties

The Student Nursing Association will be bringing toys for the children at Family Ties.
Donations
If you are interested in helping a child in need have a better Christmas, please bring a new toy to the Nursing Office. Family Ties will also accept lightly used items. The children range in age from infants to pre-schoolers.
The SNA would like to collect at least 25 toysThe toys would be given to the children but any large items (like wagons or tricycles) would stay at Family Ties for all the children to use.
We will be collecting toys until December 17th. Please do not wrap these gifts. Family Ties personnel need to see each gift before distributing it. Just bring your donated items to the Nursing Office and there will be a large box to deposit them in.
Here comes Santa Claus!
SNA has arranged to have a Santa Claus show up at Family Ties on December 18th at around 9:30am to hand out candy canes and pose for pictures with the kids. Santa could use a few more helpers!
Volunteers needed on December 18
If you are interested in attending that day, please call Angela Aistrup at 209-477-6686, or contact her at aaistrup@sbcglobal.net.
Come on down, your help is welcome!
