Addiction, Treatment and Recovery

Once again the Five Star Kids sponsored a toy drive for the families and agencies that we partner with. The donations come primarily from tenants in our office building. As in years past there were an abundance of toys, bikes, games, art supplies and plush animals to distribute to our kids.

Elizabeth Devine, clinical coordinator, spearheaded the distribution. We were able to provide assistance to approximately 30 families that we had directly served. We also partnered with one of our Irving school sites and donated some of the toys to help with their toy drive. This school’s student population is in great need of services, and the counselors there made sure that everything went to families in need.

We also had a very generous donation from Michael Huff, #24 for the Oakland Raiders. He donated 24 pair of Nike Air Jordan’s and 24 sets of sweat suits that matched. Huff was born in Irving, Texas and attended a local high school. He played at the University of Texas and was on the Longhorn National Championship team.

We are very grateful for the generosity of the tenants in our building, as well as Mr. Huff. Without their support we could not have provided such awesome gifts to our families.
