Adopt-A-Family Program Grants Holiday Wishes

The TCFS Adopt-A-Family Program supported 56 families this year, which means that 105 adults and 130 children received gifts and food to celebrate the holiday season! 

Special thanks to Joanne Spitz and Mary Kay Dowling for organizing the program, to the Friends of TCFS for their support, and to all those who donated this year. 

Thank you also to ALDI's Campus Connect Program for donating almost $3,400 to the TCFS Adopt-A-Family Program, to Fox Valley Title for donating 50 Blue Goose gift cards so that families could get a ham or a turkey for the holidays, and to all of the "elves" who helped carry gifts, wrap, and do some last minute shopping.

Kathleen comes to us from Little Friends, Inc. in Naperville with more than 15 years of development experience and proven success in building and managing relationships with corporate, foundation, and community partners.  Stop by and meet Kathleen at our Foxfield location.
