Holiday Spirit
Thank You to all Sharing the Holiday Spirit Donors
A big thank you goes out to all Sharing the Holiday Spirit Donors who helped make the holidays brighter for families living in our transitional housing and rapid exit programs. With the help of many community sponsors, over 54 families representing two hundred individual received gifts during the 2007 holiday season.
A wide variety of individuals and groups from around the metro area answered our request for gifts and food for families in our programs. Among those people who answered our request were families who opted to buy gifts for Elim families rather than their own, workplaces who gave gifts to Elim rather than do workplace gift exchanges and high school classrooms that pooled money to buy gifts for kids their age who are homeless.
A sincere thank you goes out to all donors who gave so graciously this past season.
