Toys for Columbia's youth 

COLUMBIA, MO (December 7, 2006) -- Columbia Parks and Recreation is teaming up with the Neighborhood Resource Center for the annual Toys for Columbia’s Youth toy drive.

Residents wanting to donate new or gently-used toys for boys and girls ages 1-12 may drop them off at the Armory Sports Center (701 E. Ash) or the downtown Parks and Recreation office (#1 South Seventh Street). Monetary donations are also being accepted, in the form of cash, check or Visa or MasterCard. Donors will receive a letter of acknowledgement for tax deduction purposes. The monetary donations will be used to buy additional toys. 

Toy donations will be accepted through Dec. 20 and will be given to low-income children for Christmas.

Families wishing to register for the Toys for Columbia’s Youth program may do so until Dec. 15. Registration forms are available at the Armory, Parks and Recreation or the Neighborhood Resource Center (212 Lincoln Drive). Proof of income must be submitted with the forms.
