A brighter holiday 

"Dear Donor-
Thank you so much for doing this for my niece. It means a lot to me and her dad. He is very sick in the hospital and she does not have a mom. It's people like yourself that make this a happier world. Your kindness is deeply appreciated."

This is just one of the many many thank you notes written by a client to their Adopt-a-Family donor. There are so many stories like this in these notes. Its truly heartwarming.

Pictured is a small portion of the gifts donated to the Adopt-a-Family program. This year we were able to provide 663 children with holiday gifts, thanks to your generosity.

To our entire community
What an amazing holiday season we had here at Beverly Bootstraps! 

The giving started with the Election Day Food Drive that so many voters donated to, not to mention multiple other food drives hosted by various organizations. Because of these efforts, we were able to distribute over 500 turkeys and fixin's to our clients so they could make a Thanksgiving dinner. 

Then came the Adopt-a-Family donations: we had bags upon bags of gifts piled high in our halls. The generosity of our donors was amazing - we were able to provide 663 children with holiday gifts. 

Thank you for everyone's support of our Annual Appeal which provides us with the much-needed resources to continue to provide programs for those in need in our community. 

Last, but certainly not least, a big thank you to all of our volunteers who help every day from answering phones, to giving out food, hanging clothes, teaching kids and adults and sorting gifts like holiday elves.

We are so lucky to be part of this community who cares so much about their neighbors.
