Do-It-Yourself Fundraisers
Holiday Toy Drive
Organize a holiday toy drive to collect Christmas presents for children enrolled in our programs. Our yearly goal is to collect new presents for 1,400 children and teens in grades K-12.

Book Drive
Organize a children's book drive. Collect gently used or new books and encourage others in your community to do so too. All books will be distributed to youth in our after school programs. To inquire about setting up a book drive, Contact Us
School Supply/Backpack Drive
Our kids need supplies to go back to learning, and we welcome donations year-round to support our students at school and at the Club after school. The best time to donate would be from June through August/September. A back-to-school supply drive helps our kids come prepared to learn and lessens the financial burden on families.
You can provide us with just supplies, backpacks, or stuff the backpacks with supplies for specific grade levels. To inquire about setting up a School Supply drive, Contact Us
