Toy Drive at The Colony in Bastrop Brings Brighter Christmas to Central Texas Families in Need

BASTROP, Texas, Dec. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The HomeAid Austin toy drive at The Colony in Bastrop's Holiday Model Tour Extravaganza was a resounding success. On Thursday, Dec. 2, Austin-area Realtors generously donated dozens of unwrapped toys during the event, which also featured updates on the growth of The Colony and tours of the community's six model homes. 

The toy drive was organized by HomeAid Austin, a nonprofit organization helping people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. HomeAid delivered the gifts to Texas Baptist Children's Home, a residential program in Round Rock that provides a safe home and a stable family environment for children and families in need toward empowering and equipping them for a promising future.

"We are grateful to our Realtor partners for helping bring joy to Central Texas families in need this holiday season," said Rick Neff, Senior Vice President of Hunt Communities. "The Colony is proud to support Texas Baptist Children's Home and HomeAid Austin in the important work they do to keep families sheltered, safe and hopeful."
