NURS376, Caring for the Diverse Community, is having a toy drive. Toys are being collected now through 10/14/08. These toys will be used to entertain and educate the children of the Somali-Bantu community while their parents are attending classes that help them assimilate into the American culture.

We are looking for toys for children ages 3 to 9. The toys should be things like coloring books, art supplies, stuffed animals, and blocks. Please, no toys that could be choking hazards.

Collection bins/boxes are located in the SUB on the first floor by the patio entrance and in the Science/Nursing building at the entrance by the Nursing Department main office.

If you would like more information about the toy drive, please contact Nikki Olson ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) or Thomas Marley ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ).
