AmFirst is proud to partner up with CBS 42 and the City of Birmingham Mayor’s Office Division of Youth Services to help spread the holiday cheer to local families in need this season.
Many families in the Birmingham communities are still struggling financially due to COVID-19.
Thanks to your donations towards the Youth First Holiday Toy Drive, the Division of Youth Services is able to provide gifts for more than 300 local families.
You can drop off a new, unwrapped toy to any AmFirst branch location starting Monday, Nov. 8 until Friday, Dec. 3. Toy donations can also be made at the DYS office, located at 1608 7th Avenue North, Birmingham, AL 35203.
