BSU hosts annual toy drive for Edgehill children

The Black Student Union's annual Toy Drive is collecting gifts through Wednesday, December 10. This drive is a chance for University School of Nashville to give to the Edgehill community during the holiday season. We ask that everyone bring new, packaged toys to the donation boxes at the 19th Avenue entrance and on each floor. View the BSU's wishlist here.

For the sixth year, our Black Student Union is organizing a Toy Drive to benefit Easley Community Center and Metro Parks and Recreation. Our students, faculty, and families have shown a wonderful giving spirit by providing donations for the past five years, and we are looking to share that same spirit this year.

The Toy Drive benefits the Easley Community Center, which is located in our Edgehill community and hosts the largest number of youth programs out of 27 community centers. The BSU is looking for toys for children ages 4-8, but will also accept toys for other ages.

Donations are being accepted through Wednesday, December 10. You can see the BSU's Amazon wishlist here.
