Holiday Elves Help To Make The Season Bright
Supporting Families during the holidays
Thank you to the Arlington Boys & Girls Club community for supporting us with all their generous donations during the holiday season. Because of YOU, many families received assistance with their Thanksgiving meals and you helped to make their holiday season bright!
This year, we were able to support
over 40 families and 88 children! That's DOUBLE the amount from last year.
Special thank you to Arlington Infant Toddler Center and Nancy Butts, Cambridge Savings Bank, Fed Ex Needham, Moderna Therapeutics , Kristin Hopson and Henry Bear's Park. Without your generosity and hard work we would not have been able to help so many families create happy memories.
