About the Awesome Joy Drive
What started as a simple gesture of thanks has grown into a holiday tradition rooted in giving back.
In 2019, Freddy Vasquez of FXV Digital Design was humbled by all the prosperity he received throughout the year. He knew he had to give back to the community that gave him so much and welcomed him with open arms when he and his family moved to Berks County in the Fall of 2009. Being an avid Christmas fan, he set out to help underprivileged youth in the area. He hoped to collect 20 gifts and ended the season with 150.
That first effort became the Awesome Toy Drive, which collected over 4,000 toys over the years for children and families throughout Berks County, thanks to the generosity of local businesses and community members.
After 7 incredible years, Freddy and his wife Jill decided to retire the traditional toy drive and begin a new chapter. The Awesome Joy Drive carries the same holiday spirit forward on a smaller scale, this time focusing on seniors in our community who may be spending the holidays alone or in need of a little extra cheer.
"I've been very blessed in my life and the only way I know how to thank the universe for giving me so much is by giving even more back, and when it comes to children, I'm all in. My goal is to collect for thousands of children in the years to come and beyond my time here on Earth." - Freddy Vasquez
