HOLIDAY WISH LIST

Aviva does its best to fulfill the holiday wishes of the children it serves, but we need community help.

If you, your friends or co-workers want to bring a smile to a troubled child’s life this holiday season, please consider donating from the list below. Organizing a toy drive at your work, place of worship or with friends is another way to make a big impact on many children at once. We can even provide you a list of specific wishes from many of our children.

Contact either Arlene Joye at 323-876-0550 x104 or by email at ajoye@avivacenter.org or Carolyn Jackson at x105 or by email at cjackson@avivacenter.org. We would like to receive gifts unwrapped by Friday, December 14th.
