Birthday Gifts for LOR

Regina — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:11:19 +0000

Little 6-year old Sayde Handegan collected donations for LOR instead of receiving gifts for her birthday. She also brought stuffed animals that she still had a great fondness for. It was hard for her to let go of some of her favorite stuffed critters, but she did so knowing that another child would be so HAPPY to love them like she did. Thanks Sayde for proving that even the youngest can make a big difference!

A Special THANK YOU to the following….

Suzanne, John, Jay and Bill

When Jay B. Medlin of Palmetto Distribution called LOR this a.m. to tell us he had roughly 947 pair of new underwear to donate, well you can imagine how excited we were! Jay said that when he heard the ad that South Carolina Federal Credit Union (as you know SCFCU Rocks!) ran over the holidays asking for new socks and underwear to be donated to LOR, he knew he had to spring into action to do what he could to get our kids what they needed. It took a little red tape but Jay, Suzanne, John and Bill delivered as promised. Palmetto Distribution hopes to be able to volunteer at the Clothing Closet and provide more donations of new underwear to LOR in the near future. Thanks so much Palmetto Distribution, we look forward to a great partnership!
