Acenda is a non-profit agency that is at the forefront of behavioral health and community-based social services, offering over 100 innovative programs to support children, families, caregivers, and the community at large. 

It's never too early to start spreading joy and making a difference in the lives of children in need. That's why we are organizing a special "Christmas in July" toy donation campaign to gather toys for the 2023 winter holidays. 

Last holiday season, we gave out toys to over 1,200 children. Our goal is to collect a significant number of toys during the month of July to ensure that we can continue to support families who need it the most, especially during the holiday season. Acenda believes that every child deserves a happy and memorable holiday, and with your support, we can make that a reality. 

Here's how you can get involved:

• Toy Donations: We kindly request your support in collecting toys suitable for children, especially the ages of birth to 2 years old, and/or 6 to 9 years old. We will coordinate with you to arrange pick up and drop off logistics. Additionally, we can also provide your organization with a toy collection box and event flyers. 
• Promotional Support: Your involvement can extend beyond toy donations. By promoting the "Christmas in July" campaign on your social media platforms, website, or newsletters, you can help us reach a wider audience and encourage others to contribute. Sharing our campaign posters, updates, or stories of impact will inspire more individuals and businesses to participate in this noble cause. We can provide you with the social media assets needed to promote this campaign. 
• Financial Contributions: If you prefer to support us financially, we would be grateful for any contribution that can help us purchase toys. Even a small donation can go a long way in making a child's holiday season brighter. If you are interested in donating, please click here. 

In return for your generosity, we will acknowledge your support through various social media channels and throughout the year at our community events. We believe in recognizing the efforts of our partners and showcasing their commitment to making a positive difference in our community. 

If you would be interested in participating, please reach out to us at communications@acendahealth.org and we can schedule a meeting or call at your convenience. 

Thank you for considering our request to support the "Christmas in July" event. Together, we can create magical moments for children who need it the most and demonstrate the power of collective kindness.
