Action, Inc. of Cape Ann Massachusetts

Project Uplift Greater Cape Ann's annual holiday toy drive

Another Successful Holiday Season!

* ACTION's 2011 Project Uplift toy and clothing drive made this holiday season brighter and less stressful for 384 families with 739 children. *

Each holiday season, ACTION sponsors the Project Uplift children's toy and clothing drive. We seek the help of businesses, organizations, families, and individuals to sponsor toy and clothing collection points and donate gifts.

Gift cards are always a big hit and can be purchased at your local grocery store or pharmacy! You can also contribute securely online through Network for Good.

ACTION thanks those who helped with the 2011 holiday drive
