Happy New Year everyone!
This is a bit of a late post. Due to spending time with family during the holidays and dealing with some illness we are behind in posting about how the Holiday Gift Drive went for the season.
Let me just start by saying we have witnessed God work in amazing ways these past few weeks. Somehow, every year, we pull this gift drive off and are able to provide gifts for the kids on our list. It would not be possible without everyone who contributed to this drive in any form.
This Christmas season, we had 66 kids on our list to get gifts. We had over half of our list of kids within the first 3 days of our drive. With the generosity of our friends and community at Galesburg Christian Church, those who sponsored a child or a family, anyone who put gifts in our donation boxes, delivered items to us personally, or donated monetarily, we were able to provide gifts for every single child on our list. We appreciate all the shares, and those who helped spread the word about the drive as well. This drive would not be possible without all the help we received so thank you to everyone who had a hand in this drive in any way. You made this possible.
For the first time since we’ve started doing the Holiday Gift Drive, we held a wrapping party to wrap all the gifts for the kids. It was a major success and we had a blast with it. We’re so thankful for our family, friends, and community members who came out to support the Tyeler Allen Foundation.
Another thank you goes to the businesses who agreed for their business to be a drop off location. These include Pamp’s and Grow at Eden. We appreciate your willingness to help out each year. Thank you!!
