2024 Toy Drive
This year we are expecting to provide gifts for 95+ children who are currently enrolled in Early Head Start. We will be tabling from November 4th-November 15th in the Health and Human Sciences breezeway. We will be available Monday-Friday from 10am-2pm, if you'd like to stop by to sign up and choose a Holiday Wish List to provide for this holiday season.
You can also contact us by emailing HS.HDFS.GSA@ttu.edu if you are unable to come by during those times and would like to purchase gifts for a child's Holiday Wish List.
All gifts (unwrapped) will be due back to HDFS GSA by Friday, November 29th, so we can get all gifts to EHS prior to the holiday season.

If you are not able to come to our tabling event and choose a child's Holiday wish list, you can email us and we can get you signed up and send you the Holiday Wish List for a child! Please email us at: HS.HDFS.GSA@ttu.edu
If you choose to sponsor a child's Holiday Wish List, you would receive their wish list, and be asked to spend at least $30, and up to $50 on gifts. We ask that Sponsors buy at least 3 items off a child's wish list. This is to ensure that every child gets a few items on the list. We ask that you don't spend more than $50 on gifts so that all children receive similar levels of gifts.
If available, we will be able to make a child's Holiday wish list known.

Please DO NOT wrap donations. This way, if we have additional funding, we can add more gifts to children's wish list, and know which items were, and were not, chosen.
Directions:
If you go the human sciences building, take the elevator to the third floor. when you step off the elevator, turn to the left, and you will see a large receptacle for donations. We ask that Holiday Wish List's and gift receipts be attached to the bags during drop-off so we know which child donations are intended for.
