Thanks to the generosity of our many friends on Seabrook island, a record number of families, including over 150 children from Mt Zion Elementary School, woke up to gifts on their favorite holiday. There were certainly big smiles on the faces of children who lack so much on a daily basis. Gifts of clothes, books and toys were made possible through your donations. In addition, all of the families were given food vouchers to help with holiday meals.
A simple thank you does not seem adequate but we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our island neighbors. You volunteered with us and donated money and toys for the neediest around us. Without your kindness, this annual act of giving to those less fortunate would not be possible.
