The foundation was created to help give toys to area children and to help with burial expenses for families who lose their children unexpectedly, according to Davis in a statement.
This will be Davis’ third year hosting the toy drive.
Houstonians are welcome to drop off a new, unwrapped toy for children up to 12 years old.
The toy drive will take place outside Davis’ home at 3335 Rosedale St. in Third Ward between 4-8 p.m.
