Presents for Patriots this year was a HUGE success, and we could not have done it without the wonderful Blanchard community we live and work in! This year we were able to provide Christmas gifts to 58 children in 21 different families. Over 500 clothing items, toys and personal care items were donated. Each child received 3-4 items of clothing and 3-4 toys or other items they requested. Each family that picked up items this week were extremely grateful and many of them wanted me to say ‘thank you’ for your generosity to their families this holiday season. All items have been picked up and I know these children’s Christmas day will be just a little bit brighter because of you.
Thanks again and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
