This year, Santa Claus is getting a little help from his friends in the Hudson Valley.
The Mount Saint Mary College community and generous friends of the college teamed up to make this holiday season a little brighter for families in need, to the tune of more than 700 toys.
The college’s annual toy drive was spearheaded by the Dominican Sisters of Hope Campus Ministry via Fr. Gregoire Fluet, Vice President for Mission and Ministry. Also taking the lead were the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), the Student Government Association, and Mike Lowell, assistant Athletic director and head women’s Lacrosse Coach.
After students and staff loaded them up, the toys collected at the college were donated in-person and to Catholic Charities of Orange, Sullivan, and Ulster Counties.
You can continue to support the toy drive by purchasing a gift on Amazon through this link and having it sent to the Catholic Charities address when prompted: www.msmc.edu/ToyDrive2024
Donations can be made online until Sunday, December 15.
