Holiday Sharing Program
CSA's Holiday Sharing Program is off to a great start with a very successful Toy Distribution this past weekend. Thanks to the generosity of CSA donors, volunteers and an amazing staff, the children of 331 low-income families will enjoy a wonderful holiday season complete with incredible toys and gifts.
New this year was a focus on securing donations of toys and gifts for children and teens, ages 9-18, as well as gift cards. "This age group tends to be overlooked in traditional holiday toy drives so we decided to try a new approach," says Volunteer Coordinator LaDrea Clark. "We were thrilled with the community response. We received so many wonderful gifts for older children and teens, and parents were delighted to have gift card options so they could go out and purchase the perfect gift for their kids."

Ways to Support CSA
While local and state policy makers continue to look for long-term solutions to the affordable housing crisis, the reality is that people in our community need our help right now.
CSA is the safety net for over 7,000 men, women and children confronting the challenges of hunger, poverty and homelessness every day. Our Holiday Sharing Program is just one example of how we partner with the community to help those in need. Please consider volunteering with us in the New Year and/or making a monetary gift this year to support the cause.
