Holiday Gift Store for Monroe Elementary School Children 
Donate or volunteer!

Located in South St. Louis, Monroe Elementary has 200+ students ranging from ages 3-12; all of whom are living in poverty, and nearly half of whom experience housing insecurity. To ensure that each child has a holiday gift this season, we’re creating a Gift Store at Monroe so parents or caregivers can select an item and have it beautifully wrapped by volunteers. It’s a Hanukah mitzvah! 
 
DONATE:  
Toys are for students in preschool through 5th grade. All gifts should be in their original packaging and in the $20 range. Needed items include remote control cars, transformers and robots, sports balls, large dolls of color, arts and crafts kits for older kids (bracelet making and nail kits), and anything in a big box so it is more exciting. Drop off new, store-bought gifts in the collection bin located near the May Chapel entrance.  
 
If you’d prefer to donate any amount (in increments of $20) so our committee can purchase needed toys, we’d greatly appreciate your support! Donate and find out more ways to get involved at www.ti-stl.org/Monroe.
