Texas dodge and ProNews 7's toy drive to benefit "Hope for Tomorrow" ends on Monday

Texas Dodge and ProNews 7 are partnering up for "Hope for Tomorrow".  Currently we are collecting toys for both boys and girls ages infant to eighteen.  The deadline for the toy drive is being extended until Monday December 22nd. 

"Hope for Tomorrow" is an organization that takes children removed from their homes by child protective service, and helps place them into new foster homes.  They typically always see an influx of abuse and reglect around the holidays so the number of children benefiting from the toy drive is rising.

"They've been taken our of their homes, regardless if they have been abused or neglected, that's still their home and anything we an do to make christmas feel like christmas and take their minds off the disruption then we love to do that", says Kati Hill of Hope for Tomorrow.

Response has been minimal so far, and we need to collect as many toys as possible on Monday to donate to the organization. Toy delivery is scheduled for Tuesday the 23rd.

Its simple, all you need to do is bring a toy or gift down to our ProNews 7 studios located at 11th and Pierce, or you can drop them off at Texas Dodge located at 7800 I-40 West.  Again, the deadline is Monday December 22nd.
