Dear Friends,

A new pair of pajamas
A toy truck
A pair of fleece-lined pants
A unicorn teddy bear
Cookware for a first apartment

These are some of the items that Graham families purchased last year with the gift cards friends like you provided. One staff member described visiting a family after they had purchased new clothes and how the kids modeled their purchases for her: “It warmed my heart to see how happy and appreciative [they were]” she said.

Many of our families face financial hardship, even in the best of years. The pandemic has exacerbated the challenges they face and made it harder for them to cover their basic needs, much less buy presents.

Friends, you can warm their hearts and bring joy to our kids and families during this tough year with a gift of $25, $50, or $100.

Each $25 gift card will go to families with children who need extra help this holiday season. With your support, we can meet our Joy Drive goal of 1,000 gift cards!

Thank you for all you do throughout the year for our kids and families.

With warm regards,

Laura Jo Anderson
Development Specialist
