Christmas Hampers
The 7 COM groups at the ELC sponsored 3 single parent families this Christmas through the Women’s Resource Center. Hampers usually include a Christmas dinner, clothes for the children, winter coats, shoes, other gifts based on the children’s interests, and groceries to carry the family a bit past the Christmas meal. We knew that we had a short time-frame to gather all this for three families – only two weeks – but the students sure rose to the challenge! Between all the classes, we provided supplies for 3 Christmas dinners, a “tree-full” of gifts for each family (including stockings!) and $2,240.00 in gift cards to split between the families!
This is becoming an annual tradition for the ELC. It was the commitment of the teachers and students of the whole school that made it possible to sponsor these families for Christmas this season. We are so proud of our students and this is just another reason that the ELC is such a great place to work and go to school.
Merry Christmas!
