As the holiday season unfolds, there's no better way to celebrate than by giving back to our community. We are thrilled to announce the return of the 2nd Annual Holiday Gift Drive for Teens, brought to you by a dynamic trio of partners: VR Success Services, Beard Sauce Co., and IncluSV Beauty Solutions, who are the collective heart of Bridge Builders. Together, we are determined to bridge the gaps of income inequality that persist in our city, specifically addressing the lack of support for the advancement of teenagers.
Last Year's Triumph: Thanks to the unwavering support of people like you, last year's Holiday Gift Drive brought joy to the lives of 140 teenagers in Windsor-Essex. The smiles and laughter that filled the air were nothing short of magical. This year, our goal is not only to replicate but to surpass that success, reaching even more teens in our community. Why Teens? During the holiday season, many gift drives focus on younger children, inadvertently leaving teenagers feeling overlooked. It's important to remember that teenagers deserve the same warmth and excitement of Christmas morning. This is where our Holiday Gift Drive for Teens steps in – to ensure that no teenager is left without the magic of the season. The Bridge Builders Team: We are honored to have three incredible partners for this year's drive, each with a unique commitment to making a meaningful impact on the lives of teenagers in our community: VR Success Services: VR Success Services is dedicated to leveling the playing field by providing innovative and accessible resources for personal and professional advancement. Owner Victoria Rubio is the founder of Bridge Builders and brings unwavering commitment to bridging income inequality gaps for teens in our city. Beard Sauce Co.: Beard Sauce Co. began as a journey of discovery and a deep understanding of beard care. Their mission goes beyond grooming; it's a lifestyle that resonates with our vision of creating lasting and positive impacts on teenagers' lives in our community. Owner Devon Kendrick is passionate about giving back to our community through these initiatives for teens. IncluSV Beauty Solutions: IncluSV Beauty Solutions is a Black-owned Beauty Supply and Natural Hair Services store. They empower individuals to embrace their natural hairstyles and advocate for their acceptance as professional choices. Owner Salem Berhane’s dedication to inclusivity aligns perfectly with our mission to ensure every teenager feels valued and empowered during the holiday season.
