Please help us make our 3rd Annual Christmas Toy Drive benefiting the children of Catholic Charities clients a success! Many of our children receive Christmas presents due to the generosity of different groups throughout the five-county areas served by Catholic Charities (Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco, Hernando and Citrus); however, many are not included.
Program details (downloadable) are immediately below and a downloadable flyer is also available for you to share with others via social media or by printing copies.
As Catholics our Christmas focus is on the nativity or our Lord, Jesus Christ. However, it is also a time for giving. We were all children and the excitement of receiving gifts (toys) on Christmas is palpable. While some of our children might receive gifts, typically, their Christmases are sparse and often times many go without gifts. So, on behalf of those children who will receive a gift they otherwise wouldn’t, THANK YOU!
