Madison the City Mayor's Youth Council

03/08/2026

We spent our March meeting completing community service activities for our community! We donated items and wrote notes for Shower Power and made posters and cut out bunny rabbit page for Easter in the Park!

Having the chance to give back to our community is why we love Mayor’s Youth Council!

When our members were asked if they wanted to donate toys to local families, they responded with a resounding “yes!”

This season, we were fortunate to be able to sponsor a child through MadCAAP as well as donate toys through Canopy Children’s Solutions to send to local families in need.

We are thankful to celebrate the Christmas season giving back to others 🤍
