Toy Drive 'N Events Inc. Joins Global Empowerment Mission's Earthquake Relief Efforts
July 8, 2026
At Toy Drive 'N Events Inc., our mission extends beyond providing backpacks and school supplies. We believe that when communities come together during times of crisis, compassion has the power to restore hope.
On July 8, 2026, our President, Ana Zecca, along with our dedicated volunteer "Warriors," proudly spent the day volunteering at the Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) warehouse in Doral, Florida. The warehouse has become a central hub for collecting, organizing, and preparing emergency supplies destined for families affected by the devastating earthquake in Venezuela.
Answering the Call to Serve
From the moment we arrived, volunteers worked side by side sorting donations, packing emergency supplies, and preparing shipments that will provide immediate assistance to those who have lost so much.
Our team was honored to contribute not only our time but also emergency relief items to support these life-saving humanitarian efforts.
Witnessing thousands of donated supplies arriving from individuals, businesses, and organizations was a powerful reminder that kindness knows no borders. Every box packed, every pallet prepared, and every volunteer hour represents hope for families facing unimaginable challenges.
More Than a Day of Volunteering
For us, volunteering is more than giving a few hours of our time—it's a reflection of who we are as an organization.
Whether we're providing backpacks to local students, supporting children during the holidays, or responding to humanitarian disasters, our goal remains the same:
To bring hope, dignity, and compassion to those who need it most.
We are incredibly grateful to Global Empowerment Mission for welcoming our team and allowing us to contribute to such an impactful mission.
Our Commitment Continues
Our Venezuela Earthquake Relief Campaign continues through July 15, 2026.
To help maximize the impact of every contribution, Toy Drive 'N Events Inc. is dedicating 10% of all monetary donations received through July 15 to support qualified humanitarian organizations providing relief to families affected by the earthquake.
At the same time, preparations continue for our 2026 Summer Backpack Drive & Community Resource Fair, taking place on Saturday, August 8, 2026. Working alongside our community partners, we are helping prepare more than 700 children for a successful school year by providing backpacks, school supplies, healthy snacks, and valuable community resources.
