The Holiday Spirit
The good feelings live on - because so many people and organizations stepped up to make certain local children (and their families) had a happy holiday.
Fox Valley United Way was one of a dozen area social
 services agencies that combined efforts and brought Christmas cheer to more than 4,300 children and adults who otherwise faced a bleak season. We specifically helped 204 individuals - but we couldn't have done so without your support.
In particular, we want to recognize:
Wrigley Manufacturing in Yorkville, who adopted 67 children for the holidays - and additionally provided bags of candy as stocking stuffers.
Fox Valley Building and Construction Trades Council, which raised enough money to purchase grocery gift cards that allowed every family to enjoy a holiday meal. The Council also contributed several boxes of wrapped toys.
The East Aurora High School Hero Club and Waubonsee Community College, who ran a hat, mitten and scarf drive to assure that the kids could stay warm this winter.
ComEd, Hotel Arista and Ginger Creek Community Church, all generously sponsored over 20 children each.
Various City of Aurora employee groups, as well as dozens of individuals and community organizations that made monetary donations to help us support families and children who were not otherwise adopted for the holidays.
