One of my favorite things about the holiday season is seeing our community come together—and Mount Saint Mary College absolutely delivered some serious Christmas spirit this year.

The Mount recently wrapped up its annual Christmas Toy Drive, and the results are nothing short of amazing: more than 1,000 toys collected for local children in need. That’s a lot of smiles waiting to happen.

Led by Fr Gregoire Fluet, students, faculty, and staff all joined forces with one simple goal—making sure families across the Hudson Valley have gifts to open on Christmas morning. The toys will be distributed through Catholic Charities of Orange , Sullivan and Ulster Counties, helping reach children and families who need it most this holiday season.

This is what the season is all about. Service. Community. Love.

Mount Saint Mary College continues that when a community comes together with heart and purpose, incredible things happen. From all of us at K104, a huge thank-you to everyone who donated, volunteered, and helped spread joy.
