United Care's 20th Annual Toy GiveAway

Dear Sponsors,

Because of you, United Care’s 20th Annual Toy Giveaway was a major success! Many individuals, corporations & organizations participated to fulfill our children’s wish lists, and make their dreams come true. We wish to thank each and every individual behind the walls of these organizations, for giving from your hearts! Your gifts of time, toys, donations, and financial contributions planted seeds into the lives of our children, youth and families, that will continue to blossom.

Hope. Care. Inspiration. These are three invaluable gifts our children and young people received from you this past holiday season.

Once again, we extend our warmest thanks to our sponsors, volunteers, donors and committee for an extraordinary job!

Sincerely,

Sleep Tight Totes Project
”Give A Day…Get A Disney Day”

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY…
Foster care children are often removed from their homes with only the clothes on their backs. Sleep Tight Totes offers a little comfort during a traumatic experience. Sleep Tight Totes has partnered with United Care Foster Care Agency to provide foster youth with a new pillow of their own and pillow case filled with toiletries, a stuffed animal, and a blanket.

The Sleep Tight Totes project is a great way to help others as an individual, as a family or a group and also earn a day at Disneyland. Everyone can help stuff pillow cases, dress stuff animals, and write an encouragement note packed inside each tote. Each family will be asked to provide items to be placed into the totes. The small contribution will not be more than $25 per family or group of 4 (four). Volunteers will receive a completion certificate and within three weeks will receive their Disneyland tickets in the mail. It’s that simple. You must be at least 6 years old to participate.

Donation Items Needed:
Pillows and Pillow Cases, Blankets, Stuffed Animals, Toiletries: toothbrush, tooth paste, mouth wash, soap, comb, brush, deodorant, feminine products, powder, lotions
