“We want to make sure that the thousands of children and families we serve are still able to celebrate the holidays with a special meal and an exciting gift. “COVID cannot spoil Christmas,” said Galo Rodriguez, The Village’s President & CEO. Donors also contributed more than $5,000 in basic needs items like coats, hats, diapers and wipes. The gift cards were distributed to families receiving services at The Village, just in time for Christmas. The Village raised more than $45,000 to purchase gift cards that were used to buy holiday gifts, food and other necessities. With so many employees working from home and large gatherings prohibited, participating companies, Village staff and dozens of additional Village supporters have found new ways to help. The Village for Families & Children was determined that the thousands of children who benefit from its annual toy drive – The Holiday Giving Tree – wouldn’t miss out because of the pandemic.
