ABOUT

THE TOY DRIVE

Eustasis Psychiatric and Addiction Health has recently seen the devastation Covid-19 has brought to families, especially those with mental health issues. Children and Adolescents are struggling with social isolation and many do not have the coping skills, support, or resources to enjoy this holiday season. We are calling on the Springfield community to take part in giving these kids special items that will bring comfort and resources to assist with staying “home for the holidays!” Many families are facing job loss, separation from loved ones, lack of routine and tradition, and experiencing Christmas in a way they cannot understand.

Therefore, We are asking that from December 1-15th generous supporters of this cause bring an item by our clinic designed to keep a child busy at home or to provide comfort to them during this holiday season. These items should be based upon the needs of children and teens with emotional irregularly, anxiety, poor focus, trauma background, learning disabilities, and other psychiatric disorders. Things like art supplies, LEGO’s, jewelry kits, board games, sensory items, books, puzzles, weighted blankets, play-doh will all help kids to use their imagination during this season! (For safety purposes please do not bring food or perishable items). We would also ask that the gifts come with a mask that is fun for kids to wear and helps them understand social distancing.

If the gift givers can leave a small note letting the child know why the gift was chosen and how you believe it might bring them joy that would be very special.

For families in need or those with a child with a mental health issue you would like to see blessed during this holiday season: please reach out via email to help@eustasisfoundation.org and let us know the name and age of the child/children, their emotional struggle, and their interests, and the best way we can reach you.

Between Dec 16-23 we will start having families come to our main headquarters at 3600 S National Ave Springfield MO 65807 for gift delivery with social distancing brought to your vehicle. If you do not have transportation please let us know so we can set up a time for you to come safely.

We are so excited to be offering this to the community and are actively looking for volunteers who can help with the drive!  Please call 417-322-6622 ext 300 and email us at help@eustasisfoundation.org.
