Many Brea families and individuals find themselves in need during the holiday season. If you are considering donating this year, there are some local opportunities. The Brea Resource Center and Brea Senior Center are coordinating giving opportunities, like the Wish Tree, Angel Tree, and Adopt a Senior.
The Brea Fire Department is hosting its annual Holiday Toy Drive. Donate new, unwrapped toys by dropping them off at any Brea Fire Station, now through December 20. Donations will benefit children in Brea and others served by local nonprofit organizations.
The Brea Resource Center’s Wish Tree Program is also underway. To participate, choose a tag from a Wish Tree and purchase the specified gift card to donate. Your donations go directly to Brea families facing financial hardship. Wish Trees are located on the 3rd floor of the Brea Civic & Cultural Center, the Brea Community Center, and at the Brea Resource Center.
The Brea Community Emergency Council (BCEC) will be giving out grocery store gift cards to needy families and seniors in the City of Brea this holiday season. Last year, they helped 150 needy families and seniors in Brea.
