Community Foster Care Toy Drive @ East Knox Jr/Sr High
Oct 26 @ 7:45 am – Dec 1 @ 2:20 pm

Hundreds of kids in Knox county and Licking county foster care programs need your help this Christmas. Mr. McKowns Current Events Class is looking for toys/gifts from newborn up to 17 years old to be donated for this Christmas. Toys must be new and in their original packaging. To make a donation visit the East Knox Jr/Sr. High School during school hours (7:45 – 2:20). For monetary donations please make checks out to: (East Knox Athletic Boosters) as they have agreed to handle all money for this fundraiser and write one check at the end. Additional drop off locations will include Central Christian Church in Mount Vernon on SR 229 on Sunday (before and after early and late service). Also StorySide Church in Howard on SR 36 on Sundays (before and after early and late service). Together, as a community, we can make a difference in these kid’s lives.
