The University of Toledo community can help brighten the holidays through three giving initiatives supporting individuals and families on campus and across northwest Ohio, the university announced in a Nov. 12 release from UToledo News. The drives collect hygiene kits, toys for the children of student parents, and gifts for local children through the Salvation Army.
