Holiday Gift Drive: Spreading Cheer to YouthBASE
This year’s Holiday Gift Drive for YouthBASE was a heartwarming success. Thanks to generous donations from our community, we provided essential items and holiday cheer to children in need.
Supporting Our Partners with Holiday Generosity
This December, PEERS 4 Life held its annual Holiday Gift Drive in partnership with YouthBASE, where we collected donations from the community to provide essential items for children. Thanks to the generosity of our mentors, volunteers, and local supporters, we were able to distribute clothing, books, school supplies, and holiday treats to ensure that every child at YouthBASE felt supported during the holiday season.
In addition to the material donations, we also organised a special holiday party, where the children were able to meet their mentors and participate in festive activities. The event provided a warm, welcoming space where children could celebrate the holidays and experience the joy of giving and receiving.
The Importance of Giving Back
At PEERS 4 Life, we recognise that academic support is only one aspect of a child’s development. By coordinating events like the Holiday Gift Drive, we aim to provide holistic support that meets both the educational and emotional needs of the children we serve. Our fundraising and donation efforts are crucial to our mission, helping to ensure that every child has the resources they need to thrive.
