12 Days of Christmas 2022 TASC

12 Days of Christmas - Give the Gift of HOPE

As 2022 comes to an end, we want to thank all our supporters and donors for your kindness. We are not able to serve teens without the help of our donors. This year, we have been able to serve 1,207 teens in the community through all of our programs. It is because of you that made this happen!
 
Join us for the 12 Days of Christmas Campaign to end the year as we continue to Give the Gift of Hope to our teens! Each day we will be highlighting our programs, needs, or event coming up.

Day 1
On the first day of Christmas my community gave to me, $100 for a teen's night of shelter.  Did you know the number of homeless youth is nearly four times larger than the number of homeless adults in NWA?  Over 2,000 youth under the age of 18 are homeless.  TASC provides resources to homeless teens and connects them to permanent housing solutions.
 
Day 2
On the second day of Christmas community love gave to me, $100 for an All In for Teens event ticket! Our biggest fundraiser of the year (All In) is coming up February 4th and will be a one-of-a-kind Casino Game Night!  Don't miss this opportunity to get your ticket before they're gone and support teens in NWA.
 
Day 3 
On the third day of Christmas my community gave to me, $100 for therapeutic services for a teen.  Did you know since the pandemic, the need for counseling services has increased by more than 40%?  Restore is providing counseling sessions, support groups and grief services for teens in NWA on a daily basis.
 
Day 4
On the fourth day of Christmas my community gave to me, $50 for art supplies for art programming at TASC.  TASC offers weekly art projects that allow teens to express themselves and process emotions.
 
Day 5 
On the fifth day of Christmas my community gave to me, $100 for parenting education classes and workshops.  TASC offers a variety of parenting classes and will soon offer other parenting resources for adults in our community!
 
Day 6
On the sixth day of Christmas my community gave to me, $100 for exposure to community events and networking with professionals for a teen.  TASC offers cultural and community events that teens may not normally have access to such as networking with master artists.
 
Day 7 
On the seventh day of Christmas my community gave to me, $100 for transportation to activities for one month for a teen.  TASC offers transportation if needed to activities, community service projects and events.  We work hard to remove any barriers to accessing our services.
 
Day 8
On the eighth day of Christmas my community gave to me, $100 for community service projects for a teen.  TASC offers a variety of service learning opportunites that allow teens to learn while giving back to NWA.  Projects range from taking care of a community garden, to rebuilding bikes to volunteering at the food bank.  Studies have shown that service learning can help teens become better connected in the community, make better choices and increase success in school.
 
Day 9 
On the ninth day of Christmas my community gave to me, $100 for a parenting teen to provide resources for their child.  TASC provides physical resources, educational workshops and support groups for young and parenting teens.  Through these services, teens develop an action plan to complete high school and provide a nurturing environment for their child.
 
Day 10 
On the tenth day of Christmas my community gave to me, $500-$15,000 for an All In sponsorship.  All In sponsors allow TASC to provide more services for teens in NWA.
 
Day 11 
On the eleventh day of Christmas my community gave to me, $100 for hygiene and personal care items for a teen.  Teen Thrive provides resources and mentorship for teens to prepare for successful adulthood.
 
Day 12
On the twelfth day of Christmas my community gave to me, $100 for snacks for teens after school.   TASC offers snacks and drinks for teens at each of our sites so they don't have to worry about being hungry while participating in programs.  We also offer food boxes.
