Please help us to fill this pickup bed with non-perishable food items immediately and support the food drive for the Boles Children’s Home in Quinlan at Toyota of Rockwall.

The holidays are just around the corner and the 84-year-old Christian home for abused and troubled children and pregnant girls in Quinlan needs our help with donations of non-perishable foods, plus many other items.

Take as many packaged goods and cans of food as you can to Toyota of Rockwall, located on the I-30 feeder road, just East of the intersection of I-30 and Hwy. 205, where the Luv’s truck stop is located. You can call the dealership at 1-888-891-0356.

Many other items are also needed, including a 15-passenger van, long children’s tables, toddler chairs, infant swings, bath towels, blankets, quilts, TVs with DVD players, automatic defibulators and more!

Rockwall Toyota dealership conducting food drive for Quinlan children’s home

October 22, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Yesterday I met Barbara Jackson at Toyota of Rockwall and learned that the dealership has started conducting a food drive for an 84-year-old Christian home for children and single mothers in Quinlan called the Boles Children’s Home.

Barbara and her husband are the owners of the year-old dealership, which has received numerous awards for their environmentally-friendly business.

I was most impressed with Barbara’s sincerity about using the dealership to make a real difference in the Rockwall County community. They don’t just want to sell cars. She said that she knows they were able to place their business in Rockwall for even greater purposes. She said she will try her best to become involved in the Rockwall County Coalition Against Family Violence.

Our coalition members are currently seeking additional resources for victims of family violence and the Boles Children’s Home could certainly be one of them.

I’ll contact them tomorrow to learn more.
