Holiday Party for Families in Need Was the BEST!

Saturday, December 2, 2023, started off in chaos and ended up the perfect day!  We had 90 families in need coming for the holiday party and part of our bike order was delayed in shipping. We had half the bikes when we started, and we had to pick up the remaining bikes late Saturday morning. Our volunteers really came through and we got all the bikes put together just in time. It was a beautiful day; the kids were beyond excited, and the parents were extremely grateful.  Big thanks to our donors, volunteers and Aunt Chiladas we could not have this party without your help.  Also, a big thank you to the school principals, teachers and social workers. Happy Holidays and remember kindness does not cost a thing! 

Tomorrow is the Big Day!

The McKenna Youth Foundation Holiday party for Families in need is tomorrow, December 2, 2023, at Aunt Chilada's 7330 N. Dreamy Draw Drive, Phoenix, AZ 85020.

Volunteers should arrive at 9am!  If you are building bikes bring tools and a table.

If you have clothing, shoes or household items you would like to donate please bring them we have tables set up so that the families may help themselves. 

Looking forward to seeing you, Let's Make Some Holiday Magic!
