It's That Time of Year Again!!!

This past Saturday, in collaboration with New Hope Baptist Church and the Newark YMCA, Newark Community Solutions held its 7^th Annual Holiday Gift Drive Wrap Party.  Staff, volunteers and Newark Youth Court members spent the morning setting up the New Hope “toy store”, hanging decorations, organizing crafts and, of course, wrapping gifts.  The afternoon was a flurry of kids, families, candy cane reindeer, balloon animals and even a visit from Superman in a Santa hat! Over 150 kids received toys and gifts through this collaborative effort and NCS was thrilled to be a part of it.

Special thanks to Alycia Green from New Hope Baptist Church and all our amazing volunteers.

Happy Holidays from Newark Community Solutions!!!!
