Disney VoluntEARS launched a goods drive to benefit those served by Hathaway-Sycamores' programs. Over the course of a month, the organization gathered linens, tableware, toiletries, computer equipment, clothes and furniture to help stock these young people's apartments. They delivered the goods to the Pasadena location and spent the better part of the day sprucing up the office's outdoor areas — painting benches, tables and basketball backboards, and planting flowers.

A barbecue followed, including the young people served by Hathaway-Sycamores' programs.
