Community Support: Adopt a Family

To keep with the True Spirit of Christmas, the Home Office employees took part in what will hopefully become a new tradition for the FCSLA. Every year the Salvation Army takes applications for families who can not afford to have a Christmas. We thought it would be a wonderful idea for the entire office to adopt one of these families and help make their Christmas special.

The family that was adopted was a family of three. The mother has stage-four cancer and is not currently working. She has two children; a girl who is 10, and a boy who is 14. With the generosity of the Home Office employees and some of the Branch Officers, we were able to collect more than $400 to buy gifts for our family.  he Office also donated a 22 pound turkey so that the family could have a Christmas dinner. We plan to keep this tradition alive and adopt another family this year to help make their Christmas just as special!
