At SoCal Volleyball, one of our most cherished traditions is coming together as a community to make the holiday season brighter for children and young adults in need. Each year, we ask our teams to participate in this special initiative by shopping for gifts that will bring joy to those less fortunate.
How This Community Service Project Works
This year, SoCal Volleyball is proud to support the San Diego Foster Angels (SDFA) as our holiday philanthropy initiative. SDFA’s mission is to bring joy to foster and at-risk children by fulfilling their ongoing needs and wishes. This year marks the 20th anniversary of their holiday party, where Santa will arrive on a firetruck, bringing gifts to over 200 San Diego children. A significant portion of these children are from the North County foster network.
To contribute, your team’s gifts will be for children ages 0-4. Your team will be shopping for these children, and we encourage you to select any toys you think they would enjoy. Some suggestions include learning toys (e.g., Leapfrog, Fisher Price, Melissa & Doug), ride-on toys, or push-walk toys. Additionally, foster parents often appreciate diapers, clothes, and shoes.
Please ensure that the gifts are new, unwrapped and received by December 16. They can shipped directly to:
Peggy Goldsmith
c/o SD Foster Angels
1000 Aviara Parkway, Suite 220
Carlsbad, CA 92011
Alternatively, gifts can be brought to the Club.
If you have any questions or need further information, please don’t hesitate to reach out to SoCal mom Tracey Barker at (760) 707-7362.
Thank you for your generosity and support. We look forward to making this holiday season brighter for these children.
With gratitude,
SoCal Volleyball Club
