EASTERSEALS NORTH GEORGIA EXPRESSES GRATITUDE FOR A HEARTWARMING CONTRIBUTION
Local organization's annual toy party brings joy and warmth to children in need.
ATLANTA, GEORGIA, UNITED STATES, December 12, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Easterseals North Georgia (ESNG), a community-based nonprofit that provides high-quality services to children with disabilities and families, extends its appreciation for the heartfelt generosity of For the Kid in All of Us (FTK) at their 20th Annual Toy Party. This annual event has become a cornerstone of Atlanta's holiday spirit, and FTK's substantial contribution is set to make a significant impact on ESNG's ability to bring joy to local children in need.
FTK, a charitable organization founded in 2003 by a group led by City Councilman Alex Wan, has dedicated itself to empowering underprivileged children in Metro Atlanta. Their Annual Toy Party has evolved into a holiday tradition, drawing over 1,400 attendees, over 6,000 toys, and 125 bike donations benefiting over 20 regional nonprofits.
ESNG, a proud and long-time beneficiary of FTK's goodwill, expresses sincere gratitude for the generous donation received this year, including the thoughtful inclusion of children's bicycles. These contributions are vital to ESNG's annual holiday toy and coat drive, which aims to provide new toys and coats for 1,378 children across its 15 early childhood center locations and five partnership sites.
Donna Davidson, CEO of Easterseals North Georgia, is elated by the support from this year's holiday drive donors, with FTK's contribution being a standout highlight. "The generosity displayed by For the Kid in All of Us, especially the donation of children's bicycles, has significantly enhanced our ability to fulfill our mission and spread holiday cheer to the children we serve," said Davidson.
ESNG is particularly thankful for the involvement of its dedicated staff members who volunteered their time to assist in sorting and loading the toys collected by FTK into the trucks. This collaborative effort not only reinforces the bond between the two organizations but also amplifies the impact of the donation, ensuring a smooth and efficient distribution process for ESNG and other local nonprofits.
The collaboration between FTK and ESNG illustrates the power of community-driven initiatives, showcasing how a collective effort can bring about positive change.
