This holiday season, ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ ISD and its incredible community partners are on a mission again to bring smiles and joy to local children with our second-annual Mission Joy Toy Drive.
The drive benefits the  Christmas Store, a program that helps families in need create magical holiday memories.
¾«¶«Ó°Òµ ISD is proud to collaborate with the , the , the , , and the ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ Council of PTAs to make this vision a reality.
With collection boxes conveniently located throughout the city, including at many ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ ISD campuses, ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ fire stations, libraries, and more, it’s never been easier to join the effort. Simply donate a new, unwrapped toy for a boy or girl and help brighten someone’s holiday season.
Donations are being accepted now through Dec. 3, or you can drop off at the grand finale of the Mission Joy Toy Drive – a festive drive-thru toy drop-off celebration on Dec. 2, from 5-7 p.m., at the Dr. Marcelo Cavazos Center for Visual and Performing Arts.
It’s more than just a chance to give back – it’ll be a full holiday experience with live holiday music and entertainment from talented ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ ISD students. Plus, Tillie Burgin, Mission ¾«¶«Ó°Òµâ€™s executive director, and her team will be there.
The toys collected will stock the Mission ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ Christmas Store to provide families in need with an opportunity to choose gifts for their loved ones.
Help us spread the word, and let’s come together as a community to ensure every child experiences the magic of the season.
