Looking for a way to give back to our Zoo community this holiday season?
🎁 It’s Time for the Annual Lion’s Share Toy Drive! 🎄
The holiday season is here, and we’re thrilled to kick off the Lion’s Share Toy Drive—a heartfelt collaboration between Zoo and SSA staff to spread holiday cheer to our Avondale neighbors! This year, we’re supporting the students of Rockdale Academy and South Avondale Elementary School, and we’d love for you to join us.
Here are two ways you can make a difference:
1️⃣ Make a Donation
Want to contribute but don’t have time to shop? Let us handle it for you!
- Cash donations: can be given directly to a retail manager/supervisor.
- Venmo: Send your donation to @Jada-Rushing or @Stephanie-Seibert16 and include “Lion’s Share” in the notes.
- Deadline: Please donate by Wednesday, Dec. 11th, so we have enough time to purchase gifts.
2️⃣ Donate a Gift
Prefer to pick out a special gift? Drop off an unwrapped present at this location:
- Zoo’s Gift Shop
- If you’re unable to drop off your contribution at the Gift Shop and need to make a quick drive-by delivery, please email me at [email protected]. I’ll do my best to coordinate a convenient drop-off time at the Education Building.
Need inspiration? Check out our suggested toy list below for ideas. Remember, Rockdale and South Avondale serve students from Pre-K through 6th grade, so gender-neutral toys are always a great choice!
Pro Tip: Keep Lion’s Share in mind during the Zoo’s Employee/Volunteer Holiday Sale (Dec. 3rd–5th).
Thank you for helping us make the holidays brighter for the students of Rockdale and South Avondale. Let’s work together to make this year’s Lion’s Share Toy Drive the best one yet!
