SAN ANTONIO -- During this season of giving, children are helping children.
In the spirit of giving, Beethoven's Kinderchor will be collecting toys and other items for the San Antonio Children's Shelter, one of the oldest charities in the city. The organization offers emergency shelter and residential treatment for children in crisis and helps children find permanent homes through foster care and adoption.
Kinderchor president Kevin Prevost outlined the gift-giving effort on Beethoven's Facebook page.
"The Children's Shelter assists more than 4,000 children and families each year and is a safe place for abused, abandoned and neglected kids, who for a variety of reasons are unable to live at home," he said. "The Kinderchor would like to bring a little joy to the children at the Children's Shelter by sponsoring a toy drive."
Through next Tuesday, the Kinderchor will be accepting unwrapped toys and girls and boys of any age. The shelter asks that toy guns, swords or other violent type toys not be donated.
Toys and the following items are being accepted at Beethoven during business hours.
• Diapers (Pampers & Huggies preferred) and Pull-Ups (Pampers & Huggies preferred), all sizes
• Baby Wipes
• Formula
• Socks and Underwear
• Twin Sheets and Pillowcases
• Towels and Washcloths
• Gift Cards
• Healthy Snacks
• Non-Perishable Food
• Hair Brushes, Barrettes & Bows
