BlackNLa - 2006 Toy Drive

BlackNLA.com 2006 Toy Drive

The 2006 Toy Drive will benefit: Drew Child Development Corporation and Girls and Boys Town of Southern California.

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
