Santa’s Elves of Black Rock 2024 Toy Drive

Help make this season magical for every child in Bridgeport! We’ve made it easier than ever to give. Gravity Bodywork and the Business Owners of Black Rock are sponsoring a toy drive for the kids of Full Circle Youth Empowerment, a nonprofit that empowers underserved youth to prepare for successful futures right here on East Main Street in Bridgeport.

The Center’s unique programming builds confidence and self-awareness in youth, focusing on personal growth and leadership skills, helping kids to become agents of positive change in their communities. The Life Skills Program equips youth with practical tools to navigate adulthood, emphasizing financial literacy, career readiness, effective communication, and problem-solving, preparing participants to succeed personally and professionally. For more details about this innovative place for kids, visit the Full Circle Youth Empowerment Center online.

The youth at Full Circle have worked hard to better themselves and give back to their communities. They’ve shown resilience and dedication; this holiday season is the perfect time to recognize their efforts.

Please contribute to our Gift Drive through Amazon, Together, with our community as "Black Rock's Elves," we aim to provide these children with gifts to brighten their season and remind them of the support they have from the residents of Black Rock.
