The founders of America's Attik have been focused on helping children for the past 17 years, beginning in a small office out of the home. Current efforts to expand America's Attik result from the following drivers:
▫ Raising money for Camp Esperanza, a camp for children with cancer
▫ Developing a circle of sponsors who believe in children's potential, even those children without the economic means to fulfill their dreams
▫ Space requirements to handle storage and inventory turnover
▫ Public access needs and children being overlooked
America's Attik's Toy Box and Annual Toy Drive have evolved into an event called Empower Kids at the Holidays. Since 2006, approximately 500 children each year earn the right to come to the event and shop for everyone in their family. Moms and Dads stay outside while volunteers walk the children through a huge array of items. Each child selects a gift for everyone on their list. The children then help wrap the items.
