At the same time, all five of our Family Success Centers hosted their annual toy drives. And even with rising costs and tighter budgets, our community showed up in a big way. So far, more than 600 children have received gifts, with more still being counted.
To our donors and volunteers: please know that nearly 1,000 people will have received a gift or life-saving supplies in a matter of 3 weeks because of your generosity.
We're especially grateful to Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, the Hance Family Foundation, and the many individual donors who stepped up to make this season a little brighter.
This year was hard.
Toys were more expensive.
Demand was higher than ever.
Our resources were stretched thin.
But what we lacked in budget, we made up for in heart.
Because of that, hundreds of people felt seen, cared for, and celebrated during a time that can be especially difficult.
As always, thank you for standing with us. From our community to yours, I wish you a wonderful holiday season.
