Mission in Action
Making the Season
Bright for Kids
More than 400 of our community's
most vulnerable children will
receive the gift of joy this holiday
season. We are grateful to Advisors Mortgage Group and scores of other businesses and individuals who supported our annual holiday gift drive to benefit children and families
served by our Counseling &
Social Services unit.
This is the second season that Advisors Mortgage Group has been
a part of the gift drive. This year,
in addition to providing gift cards
and presents, they purchased groceries for holiday dinners.
Many thanks to our generous donors and the Y's Holiday Gift Drive team, led by Christina DeAngelis, for
sharing the spirit of the season
with children and families in need
