We have been blessed with an amazing group of givers this year. The past year has held challenges that none of us could have envisioned, yet despite having only 10% of the needed funding by November 2'nd, by November 27'th, we had about 80%, and by December 2'nd, we were fully funded!
We were also amazed by our wholesale partners, who gave us incredibly quick turn-around times, despite our late orders. When they found out that the donated dollars all go to gifts, and the overhead is paid out of private funds, two of our vendors also gave us free shipping!
TheGiving Kids program is set to make the giving season happy for about 575 kids this year, including the efforts of our Dillon, CO chapter, headed up by Jim and Janice Watson. What amazing growth! This represents 2,875 gifts, and 3,450 people directly affected by this program this year, at a program cost of under $3,000.00.
Our deepest thanks to all who give and serve, from those who encourage us, to our generous donors, to our helpful vendors, to the amazing volunteers and the event co-ordinators who make this all possible.
Let's keep Giving!
