AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- On Saturday, December 13th, 2014 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Mueller Neighbors Emergency Center will hold the fourth annual Holiday Charity Toy Drive. The Mueller location will provide free pictures with Santa and Christmas carolers for those who participate.

Myra Graves, Director of Operations, said, "We look forward to holding the Holiday Charity Toy Drive each year. A toy probably won't change the circumstances of families that are going through a hard time, but it certainly lets them know that others care, and that by itself can be life changing."

Unwrapped, new, or gently used toys may be donated to the Mueller location or any participating Neighbors Emergency Center. In appreciation, those who donate a toy or gift card will receive a picture with Santa. Once the Holiday Charity Toy Drive wraps up, Toys for Tots will redistribute the toys through local social welfare agencies, church groups, and other local community agencies to provide a message of hope and compassion to under-privileged children.

"Neighbors takes great pride in being an active part in the community and giving back to those who need it most. The holidays should be a fun and joyous time for all children, and the Holiday Charity Toy Drive is one way that Neighbors can help make that happen," said Keilone Gordon, Marketing Liaison for Neighbors Emergency Center.

Neighbors Emergency Center encourages members of the community to participate in the drive and other family-focused fun holiday events.

Neighbors Emergency Center is a network of emergency care facilities committed to serving many communities around Texas, including Austin, Houston, and Beaumont. Neighbors Emergency Center offers 24-hour, high level emergency care by board-certified physicians.
