That's a WRAP On Our 2019 Holiday Drive

WELL...that’s a wrap!

There are 236 children currently experiencing homelessness and residing in one of our partner shelters. They were adopted for the holidays by 472 generous community members.

1,750 gifts were transported, organized & set up yesterday and wrapped today by 230+ volunteers.

472 stockings were filled

200+ additional community members contributed by baking cookies, decorating stockings, making cards, etc! I am in disbelief by the amount of good that came together this year, sending an important message to these kids that the community cares about them and that there is hope. Huge shoutout to Ashley Fallon who led this project with the same passion she had as a youngster sitting in one of my classrooms years ago. Love you, girl! And to Brice Dobry, who worked some coding magic and made the tech side of our operation seamless.
