ACRC Surrogacy's Community Initiative: A Heartwarming Holiday Toy Drive in Long Beach

In a world often focused on transactional relationships, ACRC Surrogacy stands out by placing values such as care, compassion, and support at the forefront of their mission. Recently, the agency took their commitment to the community a step further by participating in a local holiday toy drive at the LBX Christmas Market in Long Beach, California. This event not only allowed ACRC Surrogacy to give back but also reinforced its dedication to supporting families in need during a season meant for joy and celebration.

On December 14, 2025, ACRC Surrogacy team members arrived at the market with toys and thoughtfully crafted gift sets, all intended for mothers and children facing challenges during the holiday season. This commitment reflects a deeper understanding of the definition of family; for ACRC Surrogacy, it's about providing ongoing support that transcends just the completion of surrogacy or donation programs.

A Moment of Connection

The event was not just about the material donations, but about building genuine connections within the community. ACRC Surrogacy understands that true family support extends beyond the confines of a clinical setting or a predefined process. In this cozy market atmosphere, the agency connected with local families and caregivers, fostering relationships based on shared experiences and compassion.

Leo Li, CEO of ACRC Surrogacy, communicated the essence of their mission: "Our work has always been about families. We aim to make a difference not only through our programs but also by showing up where it truly matters. Seeing the joy on the children's faces as they received their gifts was genuinely the highlight of the event.” The joy of giving and receiving transcended each toy or gift set – it created a shared moment of happiness, reinforcing the values that ACRC Surrogacy embodies.

Impact of Giving Back

The total contribution from ACRC Surrogacy was valued at over $2000, encompassing toys for different age groups and dedicated gift sets for mothers. Participating in the LBX Christmas Market enabled the organization to showcase its commitment to supporting not just the families it creates through surrogacy, but the families within the broader community.

The event illustrated the belief that building a family through various routes—including surrogacy, adoption, and traditional parenting—requires a network of support. ACRC's presence at this community gathering reiterated that every family's journey is valuable and necessitates compassion and assistance.

Looking Ahead

Although ACRC Surrogacy does not regularly host charitable events, the holiday initiative represents an intention to deepen community involvement. The insights garnered from the holiday market will guide future outreach initiatives, focusing on supporting maternal wellbeing, the needs of children, and overall family stability.

"Our participation in community events is intentional and reflects our identity as a family-building agency. We want our contributions to resonate deeply with the families we assist, and we aim to support their journeys comprehensively," noted an ACRC Surrogacy spokesperson.

Conclusion

As the awareness surrounding the many paths to parenthood expands, ACRC Surrogacy embraces the holistic approach of supporting families at every stage of their journey. The LBX Christmas Market exemplifies this shift, showcasing how community-based interactions can enhance the understanding of what it means to build a family. ACRC Surrogacy remains committed to promoting family values, compassion, and care beyond mere transactional connections, thereby enriching the communities they serve.
