Over fifty toys were distributed to the NW Ohio families for Christmas thanks to a collaboration between the New Heights Educational Group (NHEG) and two anonymous community sponsors. NHEG director Pamela Clark created a Facebook page seeking out families that needed food and gifts for Christmas.
Pamela Clark stated, “This is the first time we have helped with this project, and it has been a truly beautiful experience. A parent contacted NHEG and stated that they needed help for Christmas. I thought that posting a page on Facebook titled “NW Ohio families in need of Christmas gifts and/or Dinner” might bring sponsorship for some of the families.”
The total number of families helped through donations and/or sponsorship were fourteen families and forty-three children were given gifts. Pamela Clark connected with everyone that left a comment on the FB page. Because of the generous donors, NHEG was able to provide toys to the local families that left comments on the page. The remainder of the toys were given to Santa at the NorthTowne Mall for distribution.
