   CHRISTMAS TOY DRIVE  2025

 

Founder of Connect the Culture, Eshia Rae put a spin on this year's Christmas Toy Drive for the city of Marshall. Instead of presenting their normal routine, Connect The Culture presented the first ever Toy Drive during Marshall Texas Classic Christmas Wonderland of Lights Parade for 2025. Hundreds of kids flooded Connect The Culture's Christmas float, leaving many happy faces and joyful hearts.

To finish this year off, the company will gift more children Saturday, December 20 at Mt. Zion Spiritual Church of Marshall, Texas from 8 AM to 12 PM for all approved applicants. Please read below for Participation Requirements.

By submitting an application, you agree to the following terms:

1. Eligibility and Application Process

  • Applicant Requirements: Applications will only be accepted from a biological parent or legal guardian of the children listed. We require valid proof of guardianship.

  • No Third-Party Applications: To ensure fair practice and equitable distribution within the community, individuals may not apply for, register, or pick up gifts on behalf of a family member, friend, or neighbor.
