Monterey 356 Breakfast and Toy Drive

Location: Black Bear Diner. 2450 N. Fremont, Monterey. (1/2 block west on the Canyon Del Rey Blvd., next to the Safeway).

Time: 8:30 am

Details About Our Planned Toy Drive
A few of our group had the idea of doing something more than the usual Holiday “Toy Drive”. We were looking for a special organization as recipients for the group to help for the Holidays. Nancy Caldwell and Mary Adams put out requests and came back with a wonderful group. Community Partnership for Youth based in Seaside, (https://cpy.org/), is in need of help from the community to make kids' wishes come true. Next week they will be starting to have the kids fill out “angel requests”. Each one lists a book and a gift that they are wishing for.

This will take a bit more effort than the normal collection of random toys and dropping them off. At the breakfast on the 14th we will have a number of angel cards that you can pick from for you fulfill a wish. If you can’t make the breakfast but wish to help, I can email a photo of the “angel”. We also will need some help in collecting and delivering the toys.

They typically focus on "kinders through middle school" for both boys and girls. Games, art supplies, and sports equipment are always great choices. The cost should be about $35 for a gift or book; this is not a fixed price, but just a guideline. We will try to make individual kid’s wishes come true, however they also need unwrapped toys and books for those who didn’t fill out their angels.

So, in the mean time consider helping and let me know so we can get a good count as to the number of wish angels we will be getting. If you choose to just donate a unwrapped gift or book, instead of fulfilling an "angel wish", bring it to the breakfast. A joint effort will make a big difference in fulfilling some kid's holidays.
