I would like to express a heartfelt thank you to the ISU students and staff who have generously donated to the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship Christmas toy drive.

Thursday alone, members of the ISU community purchased more than $115 in toys, which will be delivered along with food, clothing, and other household items to those in Story County who are in need this Christmas. In our attempt to follow Jesus, we are trying to do what we can to show God’s love in tangible ways to those who are most in need. I have been truly amazed, blessed and encouraged by the willingness of this community to help those who are less fortunate in Ames — it is real love in action. We welcome any additional support in bringing Christmas cheer to Ames-area children.

Thank you again, and may God’s blessings be upon you all.
