Youth Action’s 2012 Toy Drive was fabulous. The team celebrated the event with food, dance performances coupled with love and laughter. This year Youth Action continues to work earnestly to fulfill its mission to empower young people to become excited about leadership, service, and activism in their communities. Our Toy Drive is a testament to the work we do as young community organizers. However, we realize our toy drive could not have been successful without you!

On behalf of the entire Youth Action Team, we wish to extend a heart-felt thank you for your commitment to making Youth Action’s 6th Annual Toy Drive an undeniable success.  Thank you to all of You for supporting this cause Our goal was to be able to provide a toy and book for over 500 children. We successfully surpassed our goal by collecting over 2,500 gifts for children in the Philadelphia area. All donations were sent to six area shelters as well as five individual needy families. Your generous contribution helped turn our vision into a reality by giving us the opportunity to share the holiday spirit with numerous children in need, who otherwise may not have had the opportunity to open a gift this holiday season.

As Youth Action continues to grow as an organization, we look forward to your partnership as our allies to achieve our future endeavors as a team. We truly appreciate all of your dedication and support in making our events successful and meaningful to the community in which we serve. We are incredibly thankful to our supporters.
