As the festive season approaches, the warmth and spirit of giving are at the heart of what makes Christmas special. However, for many families, especially in times of rising costs and economic uncertainty, the holidays can also bring stress and challenges. At Legacy Youth Zone, we see firsthand how difficult this time of year can be for many young people and their families.

This winter, we’re inviting you to join us in spreading hope and joy by supporting our Christmas Gift Drive. Together, we can ensure that every young person in our community feels the magic of the season, regardless of the financial struggles they or their families might be facing.

Why Your Donations Matter

The rising cost of living is hitting families hard. Many are forced to make difficult decisions between essentials like food, heating, and other daily needs. For young people in these households, the simple joy of receiving a gift at Christmas might seem out of reach.

Legacy Youth Zone is more than just a space for young people—it’s a second home, a support system, and a source of joy. With your help, we can make sure the young people who walk through our doors feel seen, valued, and loved this Christmas.

How You Can Help

We have created an Amazon wishlist for our young people, which you can donate by clicking here. 

Alternatively, you can make donations of new, unwrapped gifts suitable for children and teenagers, ages 8-19 (or up to 25 for those with additional needs).

Here are some ideas:

  • Toys and Games: Board games, puzzles, or creative kits.
  • Clothing and Accessories: Hats, gloves, scarves, or gift vouchers.
  • Sports Equipment: Footballs, basketballs, or workout gear.
  • Books and Stationery: Inspiring reads, journals, or art supplies.
  • Tech and Gadgets: Headphones, phone accessories, or fun gadgets.

Every gift, no matter how big or small, makes a difference.

How to Donate

  1. Drop-Off Point: Bring your gift donations to Legacy Youth Zone during our operating hours.
  2. Monetary Contributions: Prefer to let us handle the shopping? You can make a financial donation, and we’ll use it to purchase gifts for those in need.
