In honor of a long-time supporter, YCP has named its holiday drive the Larry Morales Toy Drive.   When Larry and his wife Doreen (a dedicated YCP board member), first walked into the Pantry in December of 1983 they noticed a small tree with 3-4 gifts underneath while a group of 50 boys and girls eagerly lined up for a gift.  For Larry and Doreen, this was a call to action.  What followed was a 25-year tradition; the Morales Annual Holiday Party where friends were invited to come share in some holiday cheer and provide 2 or 3 gifts for the children in need at YCP.   Larry Morales passed away this past April and to honor his role in helping provide thousands of children with holiday gifts, we ask you to contribute to the Larry Morales Toy Drive.
