In Step With DC
A Heartfelt Thank You
Written by Erin Sforza on December 21, 2018

Our Giving Tree is one of the biggest and best reminder of just how great our DC families and staff are. Every year we place the Giving Tree on the Reception Desk in the studio, decorated with the holiday wishes of local families that need some “Santa’s Helpers” to make their holiday a little more magical. Every year we are so amazed at how quickly we run out of items to choose from, and by how generous and thoughtful our DC families are. 

When we get together to wrap all of the gifts and group them to be delivered by the social workers that partner with us, it is truly heartwarming to see that people go above and beyond, buying extra gifts that they think the children may like, buying more of an item than was asked for, giving an extra gift card for a grocery store or restaurant for the families to enjoy. Putting together a wonderful surprise for families in need in our own community is by far the most rewarding thing that I do all year for my neighbors. They may not know who helped them, and I may not know which family was in need, but I always hope that whoever they may be that they know their neighbors care and that we will be there for them. 

Thank you so much to everyone who took an tag and donated to our Giving Tree. Another big thank you to the wonderful crew of volunteers that helped to wrap and box those gifts for this year’s families. It is  the most valuable and appreciated gift you could give, and we are so grateful for your generosity!
