> The following are tips for coordinating a toy drive in your city:
> ·Identify a project leader and assemble a team of employee volunteers to
> help coordinate the toy drive
> ·Select a local nonprofit organization
> ·Make initial contact with the nonprofit organization to determine their
> toy needs for the holidays (i.e. new vs. used toys/wrapped vs. unwrapped)
> ·Identify a collection site for the toys (Ask the nonprofit if they can
> provide a collection bin.)_
> ·Determine the toy drive dates for your work location (Most toy drives
> throughout the system will run from November 28-December 20.)
> ·Publicize the toy drive by creating flyers and sending e-mails to
> employees (if applicable)
> ·Arrange for delivery or pick-up of the toys at the conclusion of the
> drive
> Send your digital pictures to Compass (West) or the HUB (East) for posting
> on the employee web sites
