THANKSGIVING DRIVE: The Thanksgiving Drive supplies families in need of assistance during the holiday with a full Thanksgiving meal. The Boosters Club donates all of the turkeys and the Franklin and Kittridge Elementary schools help fill baskets with all the fixings. Youth Services staff delivers these baskets the day before Thanksgiving.  Anyone wishing to donate goodies or who are seeking assistance should contact Michelle Grasso at the Youth Center

The 2008 Youth Services Thanksgiving Drive was a great success!   With the help and support of the community, we were able to provide over 50 North Andover families with a full Thanksgiving meal for our 19^th year of running the drive! The assistance and donations provided by the Kittridge School, the Franklin School, Girl Scout Troop 60721, the Trinitarian Church and the Woodridge Staff was greatly appreciated.

HOLIDAY DRIVE: The Youth Services Holiday Drive began in 1991 when it became evident that there was a need for assistance for some North Andover families at the holiday season.  We started servicing 12 children and that number has grown each year.   Families are provided with a variety of gifts that include; clothing, games, toys, sports equipment, and more. Sponsors for this program come from schools, private businesses, individuals, and many local families.  Families who are serviced are required to fill out an application.  Anyone wishing to donate and “adopt” a child or family as well as any family seeking services from this program should contact Michelle Grasso at the Youth Center.

2008 Holiday Gift Drive:  Thank you so much to everyone who helped out with the 2008 Holiday Gift Drive! Thanks to all new and old sponsors and volunteers, we were able to help out 82 families with 170 children this holiday season!  As always, we appreciate your generosity that helps make this time of year special for everyone. Happy New Year!
