The annual Holiday Gift Collection for the 390 students at Grove Hall’s William Monroe Trotter K-6 School is underway! You can brighten the holidays by providing gifts by December 15, 2024 for students ranging in age from K (3 years) to 6th grade (12 years of age). Ideas include: toys, books, academic-type projects, dolls, arts and crafts materials, and games.

Gifts should be:

  • Unwrapped and delivered to TBE in the Collection Box
  • Non-violent (no guns)
  • $30 limit per gift (so there is equity among siblings receiving gifts)

There are many ways to contribute:

  • Drop off unwrapped gifts, valued at $30 or less at TBE.
  • Order gifts through the Amazon Gift Registry and send to TBE.
  • Purchase gift cards from Target bring to TBE.
  • Contribute to the RJI Fund for RJI purchases from Black-owned Businesses and gift cards: click here, select “Racial Justice Initiative Fund” in the fund dropdown menu, and then put “Trotter School Holiday Gift Drive” in the field below labeled “Is there a TBE gift drive you are supporting?”

This event is sponsored by TBE’s Racial Justice Initiative, which works to increase our understanding and activism to address ongoing discrimination and inequality.
