Celebration Drive

Are you celebrating a Birthday soon or a special Anniversary and don't want to have people just bring you the same old presents that they do every year?

Try something new, and invite your guests to donate to Alternative House in honor of your special day. This way, the celebration of your life will enrich the lives of homeless and at-risk youth and teens.

The proceeds of Celebration Drives go to supporting our Homeless Youth Initiative serving unaccompanied youth who are trying to finish high school. We use the funds to help them with housing and counseling.

If you're interested in hosting a Celebration Drive, contact Chris Maggio, Development Director, at 703.506.9191 or Chris_Maggio@TheAlternativeHouse.org. He'll help you organize your special day so that you can really make a difference in the lives of these young people.
