IMPACT
16th Annual Holiday Outreach, providing toys, personal hygiene products, clothing, food, and more to hundreds of under-served children and their families. What began as Random Acts of Kindness has become a trusted partner for many families struggling to make ends meet. Families come as far as 40 miles away; many of them arrive at the Teen Center as early as 6:00 AM.
Over 900 under-served children receive toys, 3-5 pairs of socks, and more. Each family (upwards of 300) receives a bag of groceries. We also sponsor a Resource Fair, bringing in needed information directly to families
