Beaver County Christmas Toy Drive
Beaver County has organized a group of volunteers in an organization called The Beaver County Coalition. This is a county health improvement organization (CHIO) with the primary goal of improving the health of its citizens. We have been very fortunate to partner with local donors to sponsor a Christmas Toy Drive for children of families who may not be able to buy Christmas gifts this year. While we are not setting income limits for those who apply, we ask families to be considerate of our purpose of helping those most in need.
To apply, families will just need to complete the form and return to your child’s teacher or
school counselor. All information will be kept confidential. Forms need to be returned no later than December 4th.
The items will be ready for the parent to pick up before the Christmas Break.
If you have any questions or would like to request forms, please contact Lee Ann Morris at
580-646-3385 ex2. This is such a neat project to offer joy to a young child and help alleviate some of the stress that burdens families during the holiday season. Thank you for your participation in this year’s Christmas Toy Drive.
Have a blessed day;
Beaver County Coalition
