Since 2009, 911 Gives Hope for The Holidays has brought comfort and joy to children spending the holidays in local Hospitals. Over the years, the generous spirit of Tri-State residents has filled semi-trailer trucks, that have been distributed to Deaconess, Deaconess Gateway, St. Mary’s, Methodist Henderson, Evansville Ronald McDonald House, and the State Children’s Hospital in Evansville.

Every holiday season, for three days, police officers, firefighters, and medics camp out at the Evansville Wal-Mart East parking lot to collect toys.  Indispensable support is provided by Townsquare Media,  Henderson Chevrolet, and Wal-mart.

In 2012, 911 Gives Hope For The Holiday’s will be held on November 30th thru December 2nd at the Evansville East Side Wal-Mart. Please stop by and donate a new toy to help bring a smile to a sick kid this holiday season.

Due to the health concerns of the sick children receiving your donation, only new toys can be accepted.

When: Friday, November 30th @ 5PM - Sunday, December 2nd @ 6 PM
Where: Eastside Wal-Mart (North Burkhardt, Evansville, IN)
