Giving Disadvantaged Children
a
Bright and Happy Christmas
More than 650
disadvantaged children will enjoy a brighter Christmas this year thanks to true
team spirit at Arrowhead Credit Union. Arrowhead team members were able to
exceed last year’s goal and donate more than $11,000 in toys to support the 27th
Annual Celebration of Giving toy drive for Children’s Fund.
“Every year the number of children that need
our assistance grows and we were worried about meeting their needs, especially
in light of recent tragedies. But every year, Arrowhead Credit Union comes
through –this year with more than 650 gifts,”
said Jane
Nottingham, Events Coordinator for Children’s Fund. “It’s amazing how Arrowhead Credit Union supports
at-risk children in our community.”
“Our team wanted to
make Christmas wishes come true in a big way this year,” said Arrowhead team
member Ann Wadagnolo. “It breaks my heart when a request card from a child asks
for a simple wish, like a blanket or pair of socks. Every child should have the basic necessities
and a special gift to celebrate the holidays.”
Since 1986,
Children’s Fund, located in San Bernardino California, has helped more than 1.4
million children who are impoverished, abused, neglected or abandoned. Children’s
Fund gives vulnerable children support, opportunity, and hope by breaking
destructive cycles through community partnerships.
