California Credit Union launches annual holiday toy drive for Los Angeles Boys & Girls Club
Credit union branches accepting donations of new, unwrapped toys through December 16
GLENDALE, CA (November 1, 2023) — California Credit Union, in partnership with the Los Angeles Boys & Girls Club, invites you to make a difference in a child’s life this holiday season by participating in its 2023 Holiday Toy Drive.
Through December 16th, California Credit Union encourages community members to drop off a new, unwrapped toy to any of its branch locations in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Donations needed include toys or gifts appropriate for any age, up to 17 years old. All gifts will be distributed to Club kids and families during the Los Angeles Boys & Girls Club annual holiday celebration on December 21st. A complete list of California Credit Union locations is available here.
“We hope everyone will pick up an extra gift during their holiday shopping and drop it off at a branch to help us make the holidays bright for all the kids and families participating in Los Angeles Boys & Girls Club programs,” said California Credit Union President/CEO Steve O’Connell. “The holidays are a challenging time for many, and simply adding one gift to your list can bring holiday magic to a child’s life. Together, we can make sure the holidays are a special, joy-filled time for the children in our community.”
This year, the Los Angeles Boys & Girls Club plans to distribute over 600 holiday gifts to the Club families it serves in communities across Northeast Los Angeles. The organization’s mission is to inspire and enable all youth, especially from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive, care and responsible members of the community. Classes for teens include gang prevention, Relationship Smarts, social interaction, wellness, the arts, and physical fitness.
