| COMMUNITY PARTNER | |
We partnered this past December with Mercantile Bank for their 12 Days of Christmas campaign. Each of their local branches promoted our DTD Wish List and asked customers to donate items from the list to us. Additionally, Mercantile also accepted donations and at the end of the drive the bank and customers granted us an incredibly generous check!
Thank you Mr. Basulto, the entire Mercantile Bank staff and all of the bank clients for supporting our mission and our families!

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

Jason volunteered for his first retreat this past December and had a great time! He also helped with several tasks in preparing for the gala and even supported the gala by attending. Recently, Jason volunteered at the MLK Jr. Commemorative Ceremony on January 17 in Boca Raton and helped with the face painting festivities at our Deliver the Dream tent. Jason is a wonderful volunteer who is so dedicated to our mission. Thank you Jason for everything you do!
