This holiday season, we are excited to bring smiles to Jamaica's children, teenagers, and adults by collecting toys and care package items and offering food support. Your generosity can make all the difference!

Join us in our “Triple 3” campaign:

• Feed 100 families by providing food bags.
• Give 100 gifts to children and teens.
• Provide 100 gifts to adults in need.

We are seeking donations for:

• New, unwrapped toys for kids from birth to 21 years old.
• Care package items for teens and adults, including personal care items and small gifts.

$50 donations will provide a reusable, custom-made Christmas food bag featuring the We-Are-Autism logo to feed a family. The bag will include rice, flour, sugar, Kool-Aid, dry peas, cooking oil, and mixed vegetables, coconut milk, and a chicken. Donors can also send a personalized Christmas greeting, and the recipient can watch a thank-you video upon receiving the food bag.

Help us create unforgettable moments for those in need! We also welcome financial donations of any amount to help cover transportation costs and logistical needs.

Deadline for Donations:
Please submit your contributions by November 15, 2024, to ensure timely delivery for the holiday season.

Help us spread the word and make this Christmas special for everyone!
