Upcoming Events

During this season of giving, please consider donating to the 26th Annual Columbia Community Service (CCS) Toy Drive. Ease the burden for families who must choose between buying food and buying toys for their children. This year’s Drive will run from Nov. 11 to Dec. 13 and will support nine community organizations that work with children.  For many years, the President's Office has led this initiative, and as a result, employees from Columbia University, Barnard College, and Teachers College have donated thousands of new, unwrapped toys that have been distributed to local nonprofits that provide services to youth and families with children. The success of this effort depends on you!  If you are unable to drop off a toy, please feel free to have one shipped directly to the CCS Office at 2980 Broadway, Earl Hall, Room 304, New York, NY 10027 no later than Friday, Dec. 6.
