The La Salle University community prioritizes giving back.
To help fulfill this goal, La Salle’s Division of University Ministry, Service, and Support (UMSS) has organized its annual gift and toy drive to support children at The Church of New Hope and Faith in West Philadelphia and the MOM Program with the Department of Public Health of the City of Philadelphia.
UMSS continues to adapt its yearly gift and toy drive to guarantee strong participation. Here’s how you can contribute:
-
Use Amazon wish lists. You can purchase a gift for a child across four groups: teen girls ages 13–16; teen boys ages 13–16; little girls and toddlers(1-12); little boys and toddlers (1-12); and children with special needs. You can scan the QR codes on flyers around campus or grab a red-colored tag from a tree. Purchases ship directly to The Church of New Hope and Faith and can be made through Tuesday, Dec. 19.
-
Grab a cream-colored tag on campus. They are hanging from Christmas trees positioned in high-traffic areas: the lobbies of the Union, St. Benilde Tower, Founders’ Hall, and the De La Salle Chapel. These gifts (unwrapped) are due to Ministry, Service and Support in the Neumann Annex by Friday, Dec. 1.
This year, there are two ways to give. If you prefer to go to the store and pick out a gift for an individual child, you are able to do so. If you would like to go online and pick out a wished-for gift and send it directly to our community partners, you’re able to do that, too!
