Over 150 Needy Children Receive Christmas Toys from Stanbridge College
Stanbridge College students, staff and faculty collected over 150 new toys for needy children in Orange County for the US Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program.
Irvine, CA, December 16, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Stanbridge College, a technical college that offers Masters, Bachelor and Associate of Science degrees and diploma programs in Allied Health and Information Technology, collected over 150 new toys for needy children in Orange County from the Children’s Toy Drive for the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program. The toys will go to needy boys and girls in Orange County who may be homeless, living in motels or shelters or whose families may not be able to afford presents this year. Stanbridge College has hosted a Children’s Toy Drive for Toys for Tots for the last two years. This year, the drive collected more toys than the past two years combined.
According to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, approximately 13 million American children live in poverty. To help improve these children’s lives, the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation wanted to create and enhance self-esteem and deliver a message of hope. For their organization, this can only come in the form of a new toy.
The project is part of the Stanbridge College REACH – Beyond the Classroom™ Service Learning and Civic Engagement initiative. One of the major focuses of the initiative is helping the homeless and needy. In the past, Stanbridge REACH has worked with several non-profit partners including Project Hope School, Veterans First OC and the Free Pantry Organization to help low-income and homeless families and children.
