GIFT DONATION DROP-OFF
LOCATIONS ANNOUNCED FOR 2017
DHS HOLIDAY PROJECT
The Department of
Human Services Holiday
Project is collecting
new, unwrapped gifts for
children and youth who
receive services through
the Department of Human
Services Office of Children,
Youth and Families.
“The DHS Holiday
Project benefits from the
generosity of the region’s
business and nonprofit
communities each year,
but we cannot meet the
gift-giving needs of the
children we serve without
the kindness of individuals
throughout the county,” said DHS Director Marc Cherna.
While all gift donations are appreciated, we have a special need
for:
• Warm winter wear for ages 0-18 (hats, gloves, mittens, scarves)
• Board games for all ages – to be played individually, with
siblings, or as a family
• Puzzles for all ages
• Dolls and action figures in a full range of skin tones
• Basketballs, footballs, soccer balls, baseball gloves, and other
sports equipment
• Creative kits for school-age children
• Gifts for children ages 0-2
Gift donations will be collected through December 1, and may be
taken to any of the follow ing drop-off locations:
South
Curves
301 Old Washington Pike
Carnegie, PA 15106
Monetary donations are also welcome. Checks should be made
payable to “The DHS Donation Fund” with “Holiday Project”
