Gerena Community School Toy Drive

We are a group of students that represent the Association of Latino Professionals For America (ALPFA) UMass Amherst chapter. Every year we hold an annual toy drive for one of the less fortunate districts in the state of Massachusetts where we raise funds to purchase gifts for kindergarteners of Gerena Community School. The majority of these children, if not all, come from underrepresented backgrounds that have faced constant hardships in their lives. Our goal is to bring smiles upon these children's faces and create memories that they can cherish. Even with the pandemic, we are working towards making this year as successful or more successful than the previous years, and with precautions and guidelines set in place. We ask that you please contribute in any amount that you are able to!
