Many of St. Petersburg College’s students are participating in distance learning; however, they wanted to come together to give back to their community for the holidays. About 60 of SPC’s Early College and Early Admission students collected more than 200 toys to donate to Toys for Tots. On Wednesday, the students organized the toys at the SPC Seminole Campus.
Early College Student Delaney Redmond was excited and grateful for the opportunity to go above and beyond to help.
“Even if I only make one kid’s Christmas special, that is what will make my Christmas special,” Redmond said.
Also, while purchasing toys at a local store, Redmond saw a homeless individual sitting in the cold, wearing shorts. She quickly sprang into action and gave him a duffle bag with jackets, blankets, water and some food.
“Thank you so much, Mrs. Rich, for all the help I’ve received from you, and thank you for organizing this, so we were able to donate toys,” Redmond said.
