The Annual Toys for Tots Drive, which is sponsored by the U.S. Marine Corp Reserve and the Yale Veterans Network, is currently under way and will continue through Thursday, December 15th. With the holiday season approaching, we can serve in many ways to help those less fortunate than ourselves. Please consider donating a new unwrapped toy at one of the many donation box locations around campus, for a child hoping to receive a gift this holiday season.
When Love146 first engages with a child, the child receives a Rapid Response bag that includes many essentials ranging from personal hygiene products, to blankets, to emergency phones and even teddy bears!
Yale Friends of Love146 is organizing a Holiday Rapid Response Backpack Drive that runs from November 1st through December 7th.
We need your help to meet our goal of 20 Rapid Response Backpacks! The contents of each backpack total $100. You can donate by purchasing items from our Amazon Wish List using the QR code or via the Venmo tag on the flyer.
