Dear Friends, Family and Supporters,
The thing I like best about this holiday season is that it gives us an opportunity to tell our family and friends just how much they mean to us. It's so easy to get caught up in the drama and distractions of our everyday lives that we sometimes forget to share our feelings with those who mean the most to us. With this in mind, I would like to thank you for being one of those special people who has managed to make my year wonderful!
I also wanted to say that we appreciate the lovely Christmas gifts sent to our office for the youth served by our program. It's always such a nice surprise for our team to see how this community cares. If you haven't done your holiday donating yet, please consider giving to NYEP.
Here's to hoping your home is bright with love and joy at this time of the year!
Happy Holidays,
Monica DuPea
Executive Director

NYEP CHRISTMAS NEEDS
In order to get the holidays going and to provide the residents with a wonderful Christmas, we need help from our community. There are simple yet necessary items that we need for Christmas such as: stocking stuffers, bows, wrapping paper, name tags, gift cards/sponsorship of baking day, Christmas dinner, and white elephant presents, and other necessary Christmas items.
We'd also love a 8ft LIVE tree!
