In years past, we’ve collected comfy clothes that have gone to Rose Brooks, Healing House and Friends of Yates. This year, we’ve decided to let Erin’s childlike love of Christmas morning dictate our collection drive and we will be doing a Toy Drive for ALL THREE agencies! Our three partners are thrilled with this idea, happy that their kids will have gifts to open on Christmas morning.

What to buy?

We’re concentrating on toys for tots to teens, from infants to 17-year-olds, boys and girls alike. Consider anything from rattles and push toys to arts & crafts kits, Chiefs gear or bath & body kits, books or headphones.

We’ll be welcoming your donations from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, December 14, at Resurrection Overland Park (8412 W. 95th Street).

We know many older kids also love gift cards, so those are welcome, too! Cards from Walmart, Target, or Toys R Us will be perfect!
