Angel Trees, Toys for Tots’ Efforts Make Holidays Better for Children
ºÚÁÏÍøs nursing students, the Child Development Center and the Associated
Students at Western Nevada are doing their part to brighten the holidays for area
children.
Like it has in the past, the ºÚÁÏÍø chapter of the National Student Nurses Association
has set up Angel Trees in the Cedar Building: Room 216 and the Nursing and Allied
Health Office in Room 101.
Both trees contain tags with special Christmas present wishes from local children.
The angels in this cause are the individuals on campus or in the community who want
to remove a tag from one of the trees and purchase the gift of the childs wishes.
The unwrapped gifts can be returned to either location so they can be distributed
to the Salvation Army of Carson City.
The CDC has continued its involvement with the Toys for Tots campaign. To donate to
this cause, purchase a toy and place it in a collection bin located at the CDC.
This is a wonderful way to give back to our community in need and we definitely discuss
with our Pre-K class what it means to participate and how they can help, said CDC
Director Anna Lisa Acosta-Rogers.
Acosta-Rogers said that children have been bringing in canned food to donate as well.
ASWN is also involved in the same Toys for Tots campaign through the Ron Wood Family
Resource Center in Carson City, setting up collection cans in the Student Center in
the Joe Dini Building and in the hallway fronting the Presidents Office area in the
Bristlecone Building.
Thanks to those who have donated gifts!
