Notice: We especially need gifts for girls age 5 - 9, girls + boys age 10 - 14, + books age 9 - 14.
The UCM Holiday Gift Room is ready for your donations -- toys, books, games + warm clothing to reach our goal of happy smiles on the faces of the 1,200 less-fortunate kids registered with UCM.
The official due date isn't until Thurs. 12/12 -- but if you've got yours ready (or a quantity), we're open M-F 8.30am - 6pm to receive them at UCM's main office -- 7511 Fordson Rd. If you're a group or drive that already has a big stash ready, we're happy to pick them up. Just email Ali at Alexandra.Bermudez@ucmagency.org to arrange a convenient time this week.
