We invite you to be a part of the 38th Annual Dobie Toy and Book Drive. The Dobie Pre-K School is providing gifts for their students during the holiday season. This will be their final toy drive as the school is closing at the end of the school year. Please help us spread the joy of the season to these students by donating toys, books, or games for the toy/book drive! This school serves over 400 students, ages 3-5 in full day Pre-K and early childhood special education. The majority of the students and their families are considered to be below the poverty line, and for many of them, the only way they will have gifts to unwrap is if Dobie is able to provide them. Dobie provides EVERY child whose family qualifies at least one toy and book for the holiday season. The success of their program depends on the support of community partners.
