On 29th November 2025, Youth Arise Antigua hosted a Thanksgiving Lunch with the Elderly at the Fiennes Institute Nursing Home.
Members and volunteers came together to serve meals, engage in meaningful conversations, and spend quality time with the residents.

The atmosphere was filled with warmth, gratitude, and joy, making the experience meaningful for both residents and volunteers.
Continuing the season of giving, the organization concluded the year with its Christmas Toy Drive on 13th December 2025.
Through this initiative, over 200 toys were distributed to children within St John’s, spreading holiday cheer and ensuring that many children experienced the joy of Christmas.
This initiative was made possible through the generous support of donors and dedicated members.
