February, 2012
Christmas Charities Year Round would like to express its heartfelt appreciation to the many hundreds of donors who supported us this past year. As we enter our 63rd year of service to less fortunate Madison County residents, my heart is overjoyed that we never once found ourselves where we were unable to serve our clients, despite a greater demand for our services and more challenging finances.
In 2011, our agency provided free clothes, shoes, furniture and other household items to over 1650 people, including emergency services to many tornado victims. Plus, we served an additional 1500 people during the holidays by providing Christmas toys, gifts and food boxes. Again this year, we were also proud to be the sorting and distribution center for the area’s big Can-a-thon drive.
None of this would have been possible without the many generous people in our community, whether they were students collecting cans, individuals sending checks, families donating household items, volunteers wrapping gifts and sorting donations, or people investing in United Way or CFC; they all saw fit to help us take care of their neighbors. While I’ve tried to thank as many donors as I can individually, there must be hundreds of other advocates and unsung heroes who I’ve missed.
Please know how much we very sincerely appreciate you and all you do for us. On behalf of our Board of Directors, staff and 3000+ clients, thank you for caring for those in need in Madison County.
Sincerely,
Violet Edwards
