christmas The act of giving is important throughout the year, but giving peaks in significance during the holiday season. The City of Birmingham’s Division of Youth Services (DYS) created the Youth First Holiday Campaign to help create happy holiday memories for hundreds of less-fortunate Birmingham youth.
Kicking off in November 2013, the campaign consists of three major components:

YOUTH FIRST CBS42 HOLIDAY TOY DRIVE
November 1, 2013 – December 13, 2013
8:30a.m. – 4:30p.m. (Monday – Friday)
You can help us serve Birmingham youth this holiday season. Public donations of new, unwrapped gifts will be accepted at the DYS office located at 1608 7th Avenue North for the duration of the donation drive. Donations can also be made at any America’s First Credit Union location.

HOLIDAY GIVEAWAY APPLICATION DATE
November 6, 2013
**9:00a.m. until capacity is reached**
Applications will be accepted at the DYS office located at 1608 – 7th Avenue North in downtown Birmingham.

(Special Note: DYS collaborates with other local organizations that provide holiday assistance. We do this to avoid duplication of service. If your child(ren) will be receiving assistance through another program, please leave the DYS application process open for other youth who have not yet received help for the holidays.)

“STEP IN THE NAME OF LOVE” EXTRAVAGANZA
Friday, November 22, 2013 | 7p.m. – 9p.m.
Boutwell Auditorium
FREE ADMISSION! One nonperishable food item or one new, unwrapped gift will get you in to see some of the most dynamic step and
dance teams in our region!
