Join us for our November FPCA meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 12, featuring guest speakers from Gifting Youth Joy .

Note: This is the last public monthly meeting of 2024. In December, officers meet for a holiday dinner meeting (paid for by the attendees not the civic association). Our vice president is moving out of the neighborhood and resigning his position at the end of 2024. Therefore, the office of vice president will be open in 2025. If you are interested in filling this position or any other FPCA office, please attend the November meeting.

Guest Speaker:
Our guest speaker is from Gifting Youth Joy, a non-profit organization, one of whose founder is a Forest Park resident, Ziggy Cicchella.

There are many agencies that do an excellent job of linking families with young children to holiday relief. Unfortunately, kids who are 12 to 18 are often forgotten. Gifting Youth Joy is 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides teens with holiday gifts through donations and fundraising. The organization will accept donations at the meeting.

From our speaker:  Gifting Youth Joy links Franklin County residents aged 12 to 18 with holiday gifts through the help of donations and volunteers. The non-profit sees these youth as an important part of our community who are still young enough to need care and support but also old enough to understand the difficulties that poverty can create. Providing holiday gift assistance is a simple act of kindness that provides dignity and joy where it is lacking. Our vision is to bring teenagers the happiness and connection to the community they want, need, and deserve. Feel free to bring your checkbooks or cash to the meetings, we will pass a hat to collect donations. You can also donate and apply for services through our website, giftingyouthjoy.org.
