A Call For Help

This was one of the families that was helped through WYSS Adopt-A-Family for Christmas Program...

"This family came to the US just recently and a short time later the husband/father passed away. They are very nice girls and Mom is truly trying to do the best she can in a difficult situation. She is trying hard to stay in the USA, as her children will have a better life here than they would in the country they came from..." Mom was not wanting to request anything for herself, but I do know she would like warm clothes too... The family just came here from a warm climate and do not have any winter clothing."

Christmastime At Waterbury Youth Services

This Holiday season was filled with the spirit of generosity. Even during these difficult economic times, donations poured in from the community; hundreds of toys, monetary donations, whole families adopted by local businesses; even 80 hams!! Below are just a few of the special moments captured with pictures during Christmastime at WYSS.

The Employees of Crystal Rock in Watertown donated a check for $500.00 to Santa's Toy Fund in lieu of purchasing a gift for the Presidents of Crystal Rock, Jack and Peter Baker.

Lisa from Bentley Systems, Inc. of Watertown dropped off beautifully wrapped gifts for the 6 families they adopted through our Adopt-A-Family for Christmas Program.

WYSS Board President Sam Beamon and other members of the Brass City Memorial Detachment of the Marine Corps League dropped off 9 huge bags of toys for our youth.

Ray Brown, a strong supporter of WYSS is aided by some of Santa’s helpers to bring in the Christmas gifts for his Adopt-A-Family.

An employee from Webster Bank in Cheshire and a student from CCSU donated their time to be Santa’s helpers for a day and wrapped many of the gifts donated by the community.
