I want to send out a HUGE thank you to all of you who helped L2F over the Holiday season! The families are sending in their sincere thanks and wanting me to pass it along to all of you!
We sent the items below to a troop of 20 serving in Afghanistan although the picture doesn't really show all the candy very well that you all sent in! :)
As soon as I hear anything from them I will let you know!
We also delivered 19 Holiday meals to families in our area the week of Thanksgiving. About 15 of you jumped in and actually helped deliver these food baskets to families and we thank you for that! Not only did you give the food but you also took time to deliver to families and wish them a Happy Holiday! When you give your time like that to people they appreciate you taking the time to stop your busy schedules to go and listen and get to know them!
Our Christmas Delivery Project in December helped 20 families, 1 troop of 20 in Afghanistan and a total of 84 people(many of them children) received Christmas presents because of all your help. A lot of the parents cried when we delivered because they knew their children would have something to unwrap on Christmas morning.
It is really wonderful and hard at the same time to watch a parent so in need be so happy that their child will receive something they knew they could not provide. Thank you to all of you who captained teams for these deliveries this year. You are sharing your stories with me and how it touched your lives and I am so excited to hear all of those stories! We gave out approximately $6000 worth of coats, boots, warm clothing, food, hats, footballs, soccer balls and toys to so many appreciative children and parents over Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Once again thank you for all your time, donations and love that you poured out on these families this Holiday season! I appreciate you all and you continue to inspire me! Thank you for that!
Jill
