Pitch: 

From December 1 thru Dec 18, D.A. Blodgett - St. John’s (DABSJ) has a wonderful opportunity to provide gifts to the children we serve. Many have been abused or neglected and may be living in a foster home or residential care. Last year, we were able to give 1,079 children we serve Christmas gifts.

This year, we are asking for the community’s help once again. “It starts with a gift, bit it’s so much more, you can help make difference this Christmas,” said Rosalynn Bliss, Director of Residential Services at DABSJ. “These children are the most vulnerable among us and it is our hope the community will remember to reach out to these children so they can experience a Christmas morning filled with happy memories,” she continued.

To donate a gift or request a list of specific wishes from a child contact: Shelly Friend at 616.774.4613 or [email protected] or Megan Zars at 616.361.4121 or [email protected].
