The City of Dayton Department of Recreation & Youth Services is helping support Dayton families in need this holiday season by collecting food and blankets for the homeless. The next time you drop in for a class or workout, bring something to brighten up the holidays of those less fortunate.

Bring your non-perishable food times and new or gently used twin-sized blankets to one of our three recreation centers: Northwest (1600 Princeton), Greater Dayton (2021 W. Third) or Lohrey (2366 Glenarm).

Donations will be collected through December 14, and everything we collect will be given to St. Vincent de Paul for distribution.

For more information, call 937-333-8400.
