Trinkets for Teens

Sophomores Dallas Lancaster and Evan Owens are leading the way with Trinkets for Teens!  This is an FCCLA (Family, Career, Community Leadership of America) created project that partners with Toys for Tots.  

Trinkets for Teens provides Christmas presents for teens aged 13-18 in Kosciusko County and has been giving gifts to teens along with various community help since 2008. 

Last year, Trinkets for Teens handed out over 89 Christmas presents alone!  This year, we predict the need will be over 100 teens!  We need your help!!  Trinkets for Teens can only work from the generosity of its givers!  We are looking for the following items and as Sophomore Dallas Lancaster says, “This is an eye-opening experience and opportunity where you see the real need of Teens to be able to look forward to, enjoy and experience Christmas, I love being a part of this.”  

Trinkets for Teens is currently collecting donations through Monday, December 13th, 2021.  See below for ways YOU could get involved!
