Who & Why: The UWL community has collaborated to host this toy drive to help the Afghan families and their children feel welcomed during their resettlement in the United States.

All toys will be donated to Team Rubicon, an international nonprofit disaster response organization, who is accepting donations for Afghan allies who arrived at Fort McCoy as part of Operation Allies Welcome.

The toy request came from the Fort McCoy Women and Children Center Coordinator who is working with Team Rubicon.

If more toys are donated than are needed at Fort McCoy, the extra toys will be donated to the Salvation Army Toys for Tots Drive.

If you’d prefer to donate money for the supplies needed at Fort McCoy, Catholic Charities accepts donations:   www.cclse.org/Afghanistan-refugee-assistance
