With help from our staff, board members, community donors, and our consumers we were able to make this holiday season a memorable one for the children we serve.. This year we were able to give gifts to over 20 children, and this is largely due to our community donors.

Although Covid-19 changed how we did our event this year, we were able to partner with Cooper University Hospital to donate not only school supplies and hand sanitizer, but also masks (donated by Cooper). We may not have been able to have the event in person, but our curbside pickup was a success! This year we were able to demonstrate that nothing can stop us from supporting our community.
