In support of a community non-profit, we are collecting donations for the Latin American Youth Center (LAYC): https://www.layc-dc.org/.

LAYC operates three locations across DC, Montgomery County, and Prince George’s County, serving low-income youth—many of whom are Latino, Asian, and African American. The organization offers a wide range of programs, including housing for LGBTQ+ teens experiencing homelessness, therapy and mental health support, after-school and academic programs, job training, and hot, nutritious meals to ensure youth do not go without dinner.

They are currently in need of toys for children ages 2 to 12, which attendees may bring to our event. Cash donations are also welcome; a minimum contribution of $15 is appreciated but any amount helps. As a certified 501(c)(3), LAYC plays a vital role in supporting minority and low-income youth across the DMV who are being severely impacted by the current administration.
