Holiday Toy Drive A Success

The University of South Alabama Medical Center assisted the Dumas Wesley Community Center this year with donations for the Community Center's Christmas Toy Store.

Toys were collected in each department at the USA Medical Center for transport to the Dumas Wesley Community Center.

Donated toys are sold to pre-qualified Crichton residents at greatly reduced prices. The money generated from the toy sales goes to help other distressed community members with emergency needs.

The USA Medical Center began working with the Dumas Wesley Community Center on the Christmas Toy Store close to six years ago and has made the store an annual project in providing toys, books, and accessories.

Last year, donations from USA enabled the center to assist more than 100 families.
