For the third year in a row, IAM has joined Unity in the Community to help expand their “Operation Holiday Help” initiative to Northwest Philadelphia!
Unity in the Community’s annual “Operation Holiday Help” provides local less fortunate families in Philadelphia with a generous donation of new toys and gifts. The new toys and holiday presents are delivered to the unexpecting homes of the families on Christmas Eve by Unity in the Community and their partners. Past participants include Mayor Nutter, State Representative Jordan Harris, Councilman Kenyatta Johnson, community organizations The Rainbow Coalition, Nice Guys, Don’t Shoot I Want a Future, Power 99FM’s DJ Diamond Kuts and Santa Clause. Families facing financial difficulties are identified and nominated by local members of the community. IAM is excited to again join this wonderful initiative as a Northwest partner organization!
