The football team will start collecting presents for the Della Lamb Charter School.
The Della Lamb elementary school is located in the Kansas City area and seeks to educate low-income, at risk, and disadvantaged children.
Contributors will receive one hour of community service for each present brought in but only up to four hours of community service will be given.
They are looking for new, non-violent gifts with no batteries and the minimum price range is $10.
Toys can be brought into the library, Room 508, or the coaches’ office.
The collection will end on Wednesday, Dec. 9.
This toy collection started nine years ago because of a message said on the radio.
“When we heard that some kids would not have Christmas, that touched our hearts,” football coach Steve Rampy said. “We just could not fathom this.”
All donations are welcome and will be displayed in front of the library.
