Christmas is Just Around the Corner

While it may have been more than a week since we last updated our blog, the outpouring of generosity in the tri-state has not slowed down. On the contrary, businesses, organizations and community members alike have continued to show unwavering support for SECRET SANTA.

For example, Quinn Chapel Church, A.M.E. will help provide Christmas to more than ten children thanks to their gracious donation.

We would also like to thank both Ohio River Bank, Chespeake Middle School and the Employees at National City Bank for going out of their way to help support our cause.

Other businesses such as Freeman's Heating and Cooling, Workforce Development Resource Center, Wade's Work & Western Wear, Meyers and Neville, LLC, Wal-Mart #1478, Minova USA and the Minova Proctorville Employees have all been so kind as to donate to SECRET SANTA in order to make sure that no child goes without a Christmas in Lawrence County this year.

Other organizations helping support our efforts include the Child Welfare Club and American Legion Post 433, both of Ironton.

Gracious donations from individuals with ties to the local community including Dr. Robert W. Barnett, Jr, D.D.S., J. Brian Frederick M.D., and Dominick and Cara Brook will help to provide gifts for over twenty children this Christmas.

With Christmas just around the corner, we are as busy as ever wrapping up (literally wrapping thousands of gifts) the finishing touches on this wonderful project. We would like to extend a warm and heartfelt thank you to all of our supporters. Without your financial support as well as the countless hours you volunteered, many children in our county would have done without this Christmas.
