An e-update from the office of Contra Costa County Supervisor John Gioia – posted 11-20-12
We’re fast approaching the donation deadline of my annual toy and coat drive for students at North Richmond’s Verde Elementary School, and the children attending the RYSE Youth Center’s holiday celebration. Many thanks to all who’ve contributed so far. We still need help!
Our goal is to have new toys and jackets for all Verde students (youth sizes XS to XL), which I’ll help pass out at a school celebration. This year, I’m excited to also be partnering with RYSE in seeking donations for its holiday toy drive.
We especially appreciate financial contributions to buy the items, but we’re also accepting donations of new merchandise (toys, teen gifts, coats) – it will all benefit the kids! Thanks again for your generosity this holiday season.
