NSBA Collecting Donations for Operation Santa Claus

The North Shreveport Business Association is helping us make Christmas a whole lot brighter for less fortunate kids right here in our community.

The organization is collecting new, unwrapped toys and monetary donations for Operation Santa Claus, a collaborative effort by the Shreveport Fire and Police Departments, Bossier Sheriff's Office, and us here at Townsquare Media, to bring Christmas joy to local children whose families are struggling this year.

Admission to the Association's December 13 luncheon is a donation to OSC. You can also drop those off at Roberts Companies at 1500 North Market Street, Suite R-300 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays through December 12.

Of course, you can also bring donations by one of our drop-off stops, or at the TSM studios at 6341 Westport Avenue in Shreveport. Our next drop-off remote is tomorrow (December 8) at the Brookshire's on Highway 80 in Haughton.
