Before anyone else decided to host a toy drive during the Holiday Season for our little brothers and sisters being relocated to San Antonio, a group of students from the University of the Incarnate Word, St. Mary's University, University of Texas at San Antonio, and high school students from Central Catholic came together to host 'Bring JOY to a Refugee Child in SA Toy Drive'.
With the help of community members, local small business like SA Pops and Nick's Drug and Beauty Supply, and community organizations such as The Brown Berets of San Antonio and Mystic Knights Car Club, we were able to grow our annual toy drive to a citywide effort. We are happy to come together once again and celebrate our third year!
For the past two years we have assisted our new neighbors by bringing toys for the children and much needed clothes for the families that now call San Antonio their home. Both years combined, we have gifted toys to over 600 families and this year will be our most ambitious year. We are expecting to serve 400 families in the Auburn Creek Apartments and Wurzbach Manor Communities, but we can’t do it without you and your support!
Please join us by donating toy (slightly used or brand new toys) to any of the following locations around the city between Nov. 18 to December 19th.
SA Pops (3420 N Saint Mary’s. St, San Antonio, Texas 7821) Hours: Thursday 2:p.m. to 6 p.m., Friday & Saturday 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Nick's Drug and Beauty Supply (733 N New Braunfels Ave, San Antonio, Texas 78202) Hours: Monday through Saturday 11 p.m. to 6 p.m.
La Joyeria Internacional (6996 S Zarzamora St, San Antonio, Texas 78224) Hours: Monday through Saturday 10 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday noon to 5:00pm
Ideas Unlimited (5213 Bandera Rd, San Antonio, Texas 78238) Hours: Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. 5 p.m.
Delivery of toys will be held on Sunday December 20th, 2015 at 11 a.m. at the parking lot of Auburn Creek Apartments in what we are calling 'Trunks of Gifts'. We will be directly delivering the toys gathered to the families of this community.
