Third Annual
Christmas Toy Drive
The
2006 Toy Drive will benefit the following non-profit
organizations:
Drew
Child Development Corporation (Drew CDC), a private,
non-profit organization located in South Central Los
Angeles, is dedicated to the education, early intervention
and the social well being of at-risk children, youth
and their families in the metropolitan Los Angeles,
area. Information is available at http://www.drewcdc.org
Girls
and Boys Town of Southern California's two Emergency
Shelters and Assessment Centers provide a safe place
for children to stay that meets their urgent needs.
While a safe and more-permanent solution is being sought
for these kids in crisis, they can find safe haven at
Girls and Boys Town's Emergency Shelter and Assessment
Centers. They provide programs for 11- to17-year-old
girls and boys in crisis - runaways, homeless, court-placed
or abused children. Information is available at http://www.girlsandboystown.org/southerncalifornia
Urban Compass provides a safe, welcoming, and
innovative environment that challenges our youth to
envision and navigate a course for a rewarding future
characterized by achievement, independent thought, and
social responsibility through education, mentoring,
and play. Information is available at www.urbancompass.org
