East County organization offers thanks for support of 10th Annual Christmas Giving program

“Your generosity overwhelms us”

Dear Editor:

On behalf of the parents and their children who are the recipients of the kindness and generosity of our supporters, the International Orphan Relief Foundation would like to say thank you for sharing your love with them through our 10th Annual Christmas Giving program.

During the Christmas and holiday season IORF volunteers aided families who are struggling to make ends meet in East County.  This year we were able to distribute more than 400 pairs of new pajamas, books, toys and food gift cards to families in need.  The Christmas Giving program is one of our favorites, and seeing the smiles on the faces of the children who received the gifts is priceless.

Over the last 10 years, our program has provided more than 4,000 families with food baskets and new pajamas for children during the Holiday Season. Financial gifts are collected year-round for this program.

We are so grateful to every individual and every business who has supported our missions throughout the years. This year we would like to thank the volunteers and donors who gave  their time and money to our holiday gift giving program, the Delta Advocacy Foundation, Contra Costa Marine Toys for Tots, former Mayor Elihu Harris, Allen Payton, Linda La Roche, Jilda Fairhurst, Carol Reynold, Fran McMahon, Daub 4 Kids & Staff , Robin Evenson, Teri Eslinger, Kim Cawley, The Church of  Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,  Debra Willis, Fremont Bank, Key Realty, Jeff Shultz, Nina Lamadora, the Staton Productions team, Jo Ann Klement, Karen Munez, Donna and Mrs. Crupi.

Your generosity overwhelms us. Our warmest wishes to all of you in this New Year of 2018. For more information please visit our website at http://www.iorf.org/.
