At the holidays, it's easy to find toy drives for young children. But did you know that Brighton High School is home to many teenagers who are struggling during the holiday season because they are homeless, living in shelters, living in foster care, or are unaccompanied minors? This season, we continue to have many students in need of housing and food due to the lasting economic effects of COVID.

These students are working hard each day to try to meet the demands of their lives and of their academics and we would love to provide some support and encouragement at the holidays. We will be collecting donations to buy gifts for students this holiday season, as well as winter clothing for many students who do not have the funds to buy warm coats, hats and gloves. These donations, from our valued community members, encourage our teens by making them feel special and cared for during the holiday season.

For the past four years we have been truly overwhelmed by the generosity of the Allston-Brighton Community and beyond! Each year we have been able to raise money for gifts and winter clothing for every student in need at Brighton High School! We hope you will consider supporting our teenagers again this year and we thank you for your kindness to some amazing and deserving young adults!
