Here are two ways to get into the holiday spirit through giving: The Afya Foundation, the Yonkers New York based organization that collects surplus medical and humanitarian supplies from this country and delivers them to help people in need in developing nations has announced an Adopt A Box program for the Holiday season.
Supporters are invited to come to the warehouse and decorate a box that will be shipped to African nations– in essence they decorate and personalize a gift of needed items that will improve the quality of life for people less fortunate.
Those not able to come to Afya, may also support a box through an on-line contribution and select a message and design that we can put on your box.
In the words of Danielle Butin founder and director of Afya” This is a fabulous opportunity for people to get together, have fun and help us send desperately needed humanitarian supplies to people in developing nations”
All Adopt a Box supporters will be listed on a roll of honor on the Afya web site
