Donate Toys to our STEM toy drive!
Each year approximately 16,000 children are involved with Child Protective Services (CPS) in Harris County. BEARing Gifts provides holiday gifts to children under the care of CPS who otherwise would have no holiday cheer at all. SWE-HA will be hosting a STEM themed toy drive. We'll be collecting the toys at our holiday party. Any (new) toy is welcome for all ages (newborn through teenagers) but we'd love STEM related ones. Please don't wrap the gifts. For ideas, visit these web pages:
