There will be over 1,000 children in foster care on the South Plains this Christmas. YOU can make sure that everyone of those children has the happy Christmas they deserve by providing a gift for a local child in need.
Court Appointed Special Advocates of the South Plains (“CASA”) trains community volunteers to serve as advocates for abused and neglected children in the foster care system. The Annual CASA Kids-4-Kids Toy Drive will provide gifts to these children so they can experience the Christmas they deserve.
New, unwrapped toys or gift cards can be donated through December 16th. Donation boxes will be available on campus at the following locations: Campus Police Substation in the Student Union Building; The Office of the President, 150 Administration Building; the Office of the Vice President for Research, 103 Holden Hall, or the Texas Tech Federal Credit Union at 1802 Texas Tech Parkway.
You can also bring your gift to Mr. Gatti’s Pizza (5001 50thStreet). Each child who brings a gift to Mr. Gatti’s valued at $10 or more will receive a free child’s buffet during that visit.
Great gift ideas include: dolls, trucks, board games, sporting items, inexpensive jewelry, make-up, and nail polish. Gift cards are especially needed for older children and teenagers.
Thank you for giving abused and neglected children the Christmas they deserve.
