christmas bureau families update!!!

 

We had about 7 or 8 bluefins families show up Friday to help finish wrapping the presents for our family.  They enjoyed some pop and cookies while doing this.  My girls & I delivered it the presents this morning and the mother was EXTREMELY appreciative.  She was very close to tears and just couldn’t say thank you enough.  I just wanted to give you a run down of what we accomplished together: 

10 packs of diapers
2 GIGANTIC boxes of food
14-15 presents for each of the 4 children (60+ presents)
Large basket for the parents

 

In addition to all of that we had an additional $250 in giftcards/cash/food cards.  I had adopted a second family in case we had a lot of overflow and I will be putting this additional money towards that family so we actually ended up providing for 1 1/2½ families.  Everyone should be proud of how they’ve helped someone else in this season of need. T

hanks for all your donations  & have a Merry Christmas!!!
