Thank you
Secret Santas!
Amazed. Inspired. Grateful. That's how the kindness and generosity of our wonderful donors made us feel when we saw Holiday Magic happening at WRIC again this year!
Because of all of you,
147 girls and boys and their moms had happy hearts and smiling faces this Christmas.
We can't say thank you enough to each of the 43 individuals and families, church groups, businesses, scout troops and participants in the Volunteer Center of Bergen County's All Wrapped Program for providing gifts and joy to families in need this holiday season.
"I feel truly blessed", said Carla, a mom/grandmother who lost her job not long before the holidays. She is struggling to maintain a household for her eight dependents, and knows that without the kindness of people like you, she would not have been able to afford the clothes and "wish list" items that donors from a local company, Health and Wellness Partners, chipped in to provide for her family.
Our gratitude and thanks also goes to Jane Albanese and the Giants of Generosity for treating several of our families to their gift-giving holiday party again this year.
All of the kids who attended had a great time dancing and having fun. Of course, they were absolutely thrilled when their names were called and Santa's elves had a special gift package just for them.
On behalf of the children and families who were touched by the bountiful generosity of our holiday donors, thank you so much.
For sure, they had a very merry Christmas because of you!!
