Holiday Cheer: Excellence Recovery’s Toy Drive to Support Families Impacted by Addiction

By admin | December 5, 2024 |

The holiday season can be a time of joy, love, and togetherness. However, for families impacted by addiction, it often brings added stress and emotional struggles. At Excellence Recovery, we understand the challenges these families face, especially during the holidays. That’s why we’ve launched a Toy Drive to bring hope and happiness to children whose families are navigating the journey of recovery.

The Mission of the Toy Drive
Excellence Recovery is proud to partner with CCV of Verrado, The Barbershop on Main, and Rosie’s Taco Shop for this meaningful initiative. Our goal is to collect new, unwrapped toys for children aged infant to 13 years old, helping to spread holiday cheer to at least three families directly affected by addiction.

We believe that every child deserves a magical holiday, regardless of their circumstances. By coming together as a community, we hope to support these families and remind them that they are not alone in their journey.

Addiction and the Holidays
The holidays can be particularly challenging for those dealing with addiction. Emotional triggers, financial stress, and strained family dynamics can create a tough environment. For children, the season may feel less joyful when their families are struggling.

At Excellence Recovery, we are committed to not only helping individuals through addiction recovery and mental health challenges but also supporting their families. This toy drive is one way we can bring positivity and hope during a time when it’s needed most.

How You Can Help
We invite everyone in the community to join us in making this toy drive a success. Here’s how you can participate:

Drop-Off Locations & Times:

  • CCV of Verrado Campus
    • Dates: December 17th-19th
