Hathaway-Sycamores Child and Family Services needs your help this holiday season. This organization, located in Pasadena, is one of the largest, nonprofit, private children’s mental health and welfare agencies in the area. They provide services to over 11,000 children and families annually through a network of facilities stretching across the greater Los Angeles area including the San Fernando Valley, San Gabriel Valley, and the Antelope Valley. Whether it’s teaching a child to read at one of their resource centers, providing grief counseling to a child who has lost a loved one, helping a family heal from a personal crisis, or finding a permanent home for a foster child, they’ll do whatever it takes to help. And now it’s our turn to help them.
Ways You Can Help This Month:
Purchase the 2010 Children’s Art Calendar (pictured above) – The 2010 Calendar features artwork created by youth at the Highland Park Family Resource Center over the summer during the Master-in-Residence Program. In this program, designed to introduce underserved youth to art, a professional working artist is invited to work with kids to create a unique art project. Click here to order.
Purchase Holiday Cards – Hathaway-Sycamores is pleased to once again offer holiday cards made by their children and youth available online through Zazzle.com. There are three holiday cards available on the site. The cards can be personalized by selecting the Customize it option. Click here to shop for cards.
Shop at Vroman’s Bookstore and designate Hathaway-Sycamores as your “Vroman’s Gives Back” organization and Vroman’s will donate a percentage of your total purchase to Hathaway-Sycamores. If you are not already signed up, fill out the “Vroman’s Gives Back” form at any register.
Purchase a Gift for a Child – Gifts should be unwrapped and non-violent. They need toys and gifts appropriate for children aged 0 to 18 years old. Many of the children are teenagers. Gift Certificates (Target, Best Buy, Toys R Us, Bath and Body Works, Footlocker, etc.) are always an excellent choice. Movie passes, electronic and board games (nothing over a “G” rating), sports equipment, DVDs and videos (“G” or “PG” rating) model kits (level 1&2) and art supplies are additional options.
Holiday gift donations will be accepted through December 15, 2009. For more information on how you can put the “Happy” in Happy Holidays for these kids and families, please contact Andi Sica at (626) 395-7100 ext. 2516 or by email Andi Sica.
