"I think the Holiday Giving Program went very well this year.  One on my clients opened her presents early because "she just couldn't wait" and voiced excitement that she got everything she had asked for and she loved her beautiful slippers."                                                                                                     - Anita Smith (Permanent Housing and SRO Case Manager)

         

"Our Visitation Center clients were so pleased and happy with the gifts they received from the Holiday Program.  They had no idea that they were going to be showered with so many new items for Christmas.  The expressions on their faces told their story of excitement and joy.  For our families this was their Christmas and it was a Christmas of prayers being answered.                                                 - Jenny Lesher (Visitation Team Leader)

My family and I would like to thank you for your thoughtfulness, and the extra special presents from Santa. It was truly a happy and blessed day for all of us, and we appreciate you and the corporate elves' kindness! With Love and Gratitude - Alisha and family

    

Thank you for making this Christmas the best my son and I have ever had. - Love Sheila

I want to thank you so much for making our families very happy this holiday season with all of the gifts.  I had a mother cry over the phone when I called her to pick up the gifts.  I asked her why she was crying she stated that she thought her kids were going to be without presents because she had no money to buy them any.  While delivering the gifts one of the mom's broke down in tears she told me that she had been out of  work for 2 weeks due to falling in the ice and had no money to buy gifts for her children.  I had the pleasure of seeing the families faces of gratitude and appreciation b/c some of them had nothing to give their children except for what they received from the Holiday Giving Program.  These are just a couple of my experiences that I had while delivering the gifts.  Again I want to thank you and all of the people that made this Holiday Giving Program a success.                     - Elba Marquez (Civil legal Advocate)
