| | | | | | ACTSI senior center administrator, Andrew West is collecting toys this holiday season for Toys for Tots. Emory's Woodruff Health Sciences Center Administration Building (1440 Clifton Road), room 134 is a toy drop-off location. New and unwrapped toys appropriate for boys and girls from newborn to 12 years old are needed. The Toys for Tots program always runs short of toys for ages 0 to 2 and 10 and older. Suggested toys for the older children include makeup kits, hair dryers, watches, colognes, perfumes, and sporting equipment. Also, bicycles are always in high demand but must be accompanied by a helmet.
Babies who join will have seven appointments at Emory Children's Center. Reimbursement for travel and study visits is available.
