SA toy drive goes on as planned after donation supply is hit by thieves
About 70% of the households at Alazan-Apache Courts are led by a single parent making less than $9,000 a year. Author: Zack Briggs Updated: 11:56 PM CST December 19, 2020
SAN ANTONIO It’s that festive time of the year where making kids smile on Christmas Day can be a magical moment.
That task got a bit tougher over the weekend, when the San Antonio Housing Authority reported someone broke into the Alazan-Apache community room on Saturday. Half of the donated toys collected with the intention to brighten the spirits of more than 200 children were stolen just one day before a planned toy drive.

More than half of the toys collected for children living at the Alazan-Apache Courts public housing complex were stolen a day before a holiday gift distribution planned for Saturday. The event continued with limited toys to provide families, according to a statement from San Antonio Housing Authority. The annual drive was originally expected to provide gifts to more than 200 disadvantaged children. The toys were stolen during a Friday break-in at the Courts community room, according to the statement. SAHA also posted information on its website on how people can make donations to re-stock the drive.
