Every year at National Conference, PRSSA makes an effort to give back to the community that the Society will be visiting. Last year in Boston, PRSSA partnered with Rosie\u2019s Place, a local women\u2019s shelter. Students donated $2,500 worth of female hygiene products during Conference.<\/p>\n

This year the Society will be partnering with the Assistance League of Austin\u00a0<\/a>to host a Toy Cart for children who have extended stays in hospitals due to severe illnesses. The toys will be for both the children in the hospitals and their families.<\/p>\n

The mission of this organization states, \u201cWith care and commitment, Assistance League of Austin improves the well-being of our community \u2013 one child, one teen, one adult at a time,\u201d according to their website.<\/p>\n

So how can you as a student or Chapter get involved? Bring new, unopened toys for the Toy Cart at Conference this year. These toys do not need to be expensive; items within the $10 to $20 range will be acceptable. The goal is to provide Assistance League of Austin with as many items as possible to ensure sick children and their families have a plethora of gifts to choose from.<\/p>\n

Here are some ideas for toys you can donate.<\/p>\n

Legos<\/p>\n

Dolls<\/p>\n

Matchbox cars<\/p>\n

Puzzles and games<\/p>\n

Costume jewelry<\/p>\n

Mittens or gloves<\/p>\n

Picture frames<\/p>\n

Hats or scarves<\/p>\n

Art supplies<\/p>\n

Ties<\/p>\n

This is not a comprehensive list so feel free to use your imagination. No matter what you bring, it will help better the Austin community around you. Help us, help Austin!<\/p>\n
