12/15 - Toys for Transit Gift Drive and 5K Run - Weslaco

Toys for Transit is a gift drive & 5K to benefit children living in colonias during the Christmas season. Valley Metro, the RGV’s regional public transit provider, will collect new, unopened toys and distribute them to families living in colonias. Valley Metro is a department of the Lower Rio Grande Valley Development Council, a regional governmental agency. Valley Metro will identify which colonias and which children will receive gifts and will distribute the gifts on the week of December 17, 2012.

Bring new, unopened toys to Valley Metro’s offices during regular business hours (8 AM – 5 PM) from December 10 – December 14, 2012. We’ll do the wrapping.

Stuff the Bus 5K
This will be a 5K run/walk & 1-mile child’s fun run. The entry fee will be a child’s gift of at least a $10 value. (Although you are welcome to bring more!) We will park a bus at the event and place all the gifts inside. Participants are encouraged to dress up in holiday costumes.
