Holiday Giving
Holiday Gift Drive
The Youth Services Holiday Drive began in 1989 when it became evident that there was a need for assistance for some North Andover families at the holiday season. We started by servicing 12 children in 1989 and that number has grown to over 250 children. Families are provided with a variety of gifts that include; clothing, games, toys, sports equipment, and more. Sponsors for this program come from schools, private businesses, individuals, and many local families. Families who are serviced are required to fill out an application. Any family seeking services from this program should contact Bryanna at bgilman@nayouth.com or Italia at iquerci@nayouth.com.
Our 2023 Holiday Gift Drive was a great success providing gifts for over 260 children in over 100 families. Thank you to everyone who supported our 34th Annual Holiday Gift Drive! Please check out this Thank You video from Rick on our Youtube channel!
Thanksgiving Drive
The Thanksgiving Drive supplies a full Thanksgiving meal of a turkey and all the fixings to North Andover families in need of assistance during the holiday season.
Our 2023 Thanksgiving Drive provided meals for 80 North Andover families! Thank you to North Andover Booster Club and Terry Holland for the turkeys, to Franklin School, Kittredge School, NA Youth Baseball, and the Trinitarian Church for collecting food donations, to our Core 4 volunteers for helping organize & pack donations and distribute the meals, and to our staff of Molly, Bryanna and Italia for coordinating this year's Thanksgiving Drive.
If you have any questions about this program, please contact Bryanna at bgilman@nayouth.com or Italia at iquerci@nayouth.com.
