This year we are helping over 50 veteran families by providing their children with a holiday gift. Volunteers will come together on December 13th to unpack and individually wrap each gift. On the distribution day, veteran families will drive up to the breezeway between the Ansin Building and the Center for Excellence and be handed a gift specific to their children's age and gender. We need volunteers to help during the distribution day. This group will sort and hand off over 100 wrapped gifts to these families on December 14th. Parking will be available to volunteers at the United Way Miami parking garage (3150 SW 3rd Ave, Miami FL, 33129). Please check in at the Ansin Building (3250 SW 3rd Ave, Miami, FL 33129) across from the parking garage. Reach out directly to Franchesca Alejo at alejo.f@unitedwaymiami.org with any quetsions or concerns.more...
