You made holiday magic happen - thank you!! Wishes granted for 200 kids, across 80 local families here in Acton & Boxborough! Our first year coordinating holiday wish fulfillment was an incredible illustration of this community at its best!
"I wanted to reach out and thank you all so much for the gift for my daughter. You guys have no idea how much it means to me that my daughter will have such an amazing gift and well curated gift to open on Christmas morning... I cannot put into words how thankful I am. My heart has not felt this level of joy in a while."
To pick up their gifts, most families visited Acton-Boxborough Resource Center, many for the first time. With all these new visitors, last Wednesday/Thursday we gave out 62 winter coats (putting us at over 500 coats given out just since October 1st this year)!!
A tremendous thank you to the community members who fulfilled wishes, contributed wrapping materials, and volunteered as "elves" and delivery drivers, to our partners at AB Schools and both towns' Community Service Coordinators -- and to the amazing team at ABUW who managed the logistics and made magic happen.
That's a wrap!
