2022 Block Party

---

This holiday season we are hoping to provide a holiday meal for 750+ families.  This would be the largest group we've done so far.  Please support this great cause by donating today.

We will begin this project in early December. We'll need your volunteer time!!!

Yellow Boomerang was proud to work on providing at 286 backpacks to local public-school children.  This project was intended to help the recipients and the volunteers. This project was especially designed to involve our younger neighbors. Led by Ryleigh, Cyrus, Asher and Frankie (all ages 7-11), this project invited volunteers between the ages of 6-12 only. The strategic direction and the activities of this project were all designed and implemented by these young future leaders.  These bags were chalk full of school supplies that are required by the county.  The school supplies were donated by local community members and were assembled by our team of Young Volunteers.  We are hoping to make this an annual project

The main focus of this project was to help as many Afghan Refugee families settle in the US. Some were in hotels and some were in their temporary or permanent homes.  Our goal was to help provide household and clothing items in order to help these families transition to this local community. Items provided were various but mostly focused on clothing (season appropriate) and household items such as vacuum cleaners, tea kettles, pots/pans, dishes, etc.  We were able to help 93 families resettle and over 330 individuals at a local hotel better tolerate their stay by providing personal care items, coasts, shoes, etc.  In addition to these items, we also provided culturally appropriate food items.  

Anna Behnam won the NextDoor 100 award for her efforts on this project. 

For this project, we collected donated toys  to distribute to a low income neighborhood.  The kids were over the moon with excitement.  A completely feel good day.  Thanks to our many, many donors and our 30+ volunteers that made it all happen.

For this project, we collected donations from our friends, family, neighbors and local community to purchase dinner items to make a “complete holiday meal” kit for each of 450 plus families.

Families picked up their much needed food at a local fire house.
