Local Nonprofit to Host Holiday Gospel Concert, Toy Drive
From staff reports
COMPTON—The
Young American National Awareness Campaign (YANAC), a local nonprofit,
announces its 18th Annual Toy and Gift Drive as a means to being some
joy into the lives of underprivileged families within the community
this holiday season.
Besides asking local businesses to post fliers and collect toys at
their respective locations, YANAC will host “A Special Christmas
Love” Gospel concert this Saturday, Dec. 6 at 5 p.m. at Trinity Chapel
Life Center, 2813 N. Wilmington Ave.
The concert will feature saxophonist Dr. Alvin McKinney, Latino Gospel
rapper Ricky Beltran and Lynwood Worship Center’s Praise Team among
others. The concert is free, but attendees are asked to bring one or more
unwrapped new toys and gifts to be distributed to poverty stricken children
Dec. 20.
On that day, YANAC will provide “A Special Christmas Love” presentation
for 10 local families that will be selected through a joint effort including
the Sheriff’s Department, Los Angeles County Superior Court, Compton
Unified School District, Trinity Chapel Life Center, The Grace Elliott
Center and New Life Beginning Inc.
The families will be treated to an early Christmas dinner in addition
to the distribution of toys and gift certificates.
