St. Francis of Assisi students donate toys to kids in west Louisville

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Students from St. Francis of Assisi on Wednesday brought 1,000 toys to the Chestnut Street family YMCA for children in west Louisville.

The students started a donation drive three weeks ago to show those in west Louisville that they care, given the current unrest in the city.

"And that right there is your action of love, and that's how we begin to change the world. That's how we begin to come together, that's how we begin to solve the problems that are creating so many issues for this nation, but this world," said Freddie Brown, with the Chestnut Street YMCA.

The students made arrangements to have toys purchased and donated for the cause.

The straightforward, reading-focused device makes literature accessible and fun. Truth be told, my son doesn't like to read. Miles is almost 8 years old, and despite my own love for literature and the fact that I am a writer, he is more of a science, tech, and math kind of kid. STEM-related toys ...
