Every year, ALPFA UMass Amherst raises money to fund a toy drive, benefiting the Gerena Community School in Springfield, Massachusetts. Your generous contributions will support us to purchase and wrap gifts for the entire kindergarten class of 97 students. Many, if not all, of these young learners come from underrepresented backgrounds and face economic challenges. Our overarching objective is to ensure that these children have the joyful holiday season they deserve, and this wouldn't be attainable without your support.

ALPFA, the Association of Latino Professionals for America, is a student-led organization at UMass Amherst committed to empowering and cultivating community leaders. Giving back and making a meaningful impact in the lives of others is a key part of developing leaders primed for success.

We hope that you will join us in spreading holiday cheer this season and giving back to a local community!
