HeartShare St. Vincent’s Services’ Junior Board hosted its very first Ugly Sweater Party and Toy Drive at Public House in Manhattan benefiting our children and youth in care.

The event was hosted by HSVS’ Junior Board on Wednesday, November 30th at Public House in New York City. The event raised nearly $1,100 and collected hundreds of toys for the children in the agency’s care.

This year, the emerging leaders of the HSVS Junior Board hosted a series of events this year, including an Easter celebration, salsa night, happy hours and sent a record 50 American Dream Program scholars off to college with luggage and other gifts.

If you were unable to attend the Ugly Sweater Party and Toy Drive, you can still give a gift to brighten a child’s holiday. Later this month, HSVS is hosting two holiday parties for our children and youth in care.
