TOY CHEST: Generous donations go to needy families



Lori Brown-Platts, homeless consultant, reports that along with multiple individuals and groups aimed at helping needy families at Christmas, she was able to provide toys for 28 children through staff donations to their “Toy Chest.”

Staffers used a small room at Truman High School that was filled with new and like-new toys along with gift bags and wrapping paper.  Parents were invited to come and "shop" and select toys for their children. It was definitely a success and it may expand next year.

We are currently in the process of utilizing the same room for clothing donations, where parents will be able to come and select clothing for their children when needed.

 The Taylor staff shows an amazingly generous spirit, according to Lori.
