A Christmas Experience is a Christmas party we host for children ages 0-17 in Metro Atlanta. Zoar United Methodist Church in Snellville has provided us with a spacious and amazing venue space to use since we commenced hosting the event, and Toys for Tots donates many of the toys that help make this event possible. We provide food, beverages, games, Santa Claus, face painting, a photo booth, prizes, music, and much more. We provide these children with toys, electronics, clothing, and an unforgettable experience that will allow them to enjoy their holiday season to the fullest. This isn’t just about giving away toys. We hope that the children who attend can create happy memories that they will hold dear in their hearts. We have to display to them that the community can accomplish more if we come together as one. We know from personal testimonies that this event has a substantial positive impact on our community, and that motivates us to expand on this event every year.
Religion can be used as a tool to bring a community together or tear it apart. During the 2022 holiday season, Power of Millennials and The Carey Gabay Foundation aimed to create unity by creating, "A Holiday Cultural Experience," celebrating three major holidays in December. This year, we continued the tradition and expanded on the event. Children and their parents were encouraged to learn about Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanza from educators and local religious leaders. We had community leaders present, and discuss why each holiday is important to them as Brooklynites. This event is intended to encourage members of the community to learn about their neighbors, overcome their differences, and build stronger bonds between neighbors. This also gave us an opportunity to provide gifts to less fortunate children ages 0-17. We raffled away bikes, gift cards, tablets, and other prizes. We also provided two laptops to two international students who are attending high school in Brooklyn.
Power of Millennials was started by a family that has always enjoyed giving back together. During our trip to Ghana, we partnered with Hopeworks Ghana for a project to give children at Christ Outreach Orphanage new bikes.
A Christmas Experience is a Christmas party held for underprivileged children ages 0-17 in Metro Atlanta. We provide food, beverages, games, a Santa to take pictures, a photo booth, prizes, music, and much more. Although we change the name of the event every year, our mission is the same. We wish to provide these children with toys, electronics, and possibly clothing that will allow them to enjoy their holiday season to the fullest. This isn’t just about giving away toys, but instead is about creating happy memories that these children will hold dear in their hearts. We hope that your family will come out this year to enjoy our wonderful party with us.
