I don't have the exact numbers yet - but we have helped about 50 families this Christmas season. We have been fortunate to garner the support of several new volunteers and we would like to "officially" welcome them to our organization.
They are Lorrie and Tim from Lakehurst - they have been there for us for the past few years now - they run toy drives, make financial donations to our organization and Lorrie's Girl Scout Troop wraps presents for our families and much, much more.
This year we met Mary from Forked River - she works at the FAA in Pomona and she and her sister Barbara, co-workers Laurie and Bernice - went above and beyond for our Christmas families. When I went to pick up the gifts - it was a FULL pickup truck!! My SUV was jam-packed - it's a good feeling.
Our silent volunteer met our "Toy Lady" - Kathi from Maple Shade while web-shopping for toys for our families. Kathi donated some really nice toys to us AND got us a very large donation of games, toys and a brand new bike from one of her suppliers. Just awesome!
I also want to extend thanks to my Cousin, Barbara - her co-workers at J&J CPI and her neighbor Joann C. for their generous support of our families as well. This is just a list of the folks who said they wanted to be a part of our organization and help others less fortunate thru their networks and resources. Welcome you guys! Our sincere thanks for all that you've done and continue to do.
