The "Christmas Joy Program," led by our dedicated volunteers, "Angels Everywhere," aims to uplift our community. From South Florida's largest backpack drive to our current toy drive for families in need, their commitment spreads hope and joy.
When you adopt a family, you'll receive their children's age and gender via email. Simply purchase, wrap, and deliver gifts to Unity on the Bay by December 15. Thank you!
