"Give and Sip" with AAJA, Apex for Youth, Envi Media

This year, AAJA NY is partnering with Apex for Youth and AAPI media organization Envi Media for a meaningful holiday drive.

Join them for Give and Sip on December 14, from 12-3 PM at Cafe Joah (212 Avenue A, New York, NY 10009) as they collect toys and books for AAPI+ school communities and low-income families in need.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Gift & Book Drive: Bring your toy or book (new or slightly used) to support children in our community. (Gifts are for children ages 3-8)
• Festive Gift-Wrapping and Card-Making Stations: Spread holiday cheer by wrapping your gifts and making holiday cards for kids. They’ll provide all the supplies!
• Holiday Raffle Entry: Purchase any drink at Cafe Joah for a chance to win special raffle prizes, including exclusive AAJA NY merchandise!
