A couple of letters we received
Dear W 7th Boys Club,
Today I had the great opportunity to distribute the Walmart & Target gift cards you provided. Thank you! Your gifts will help parents and families who are living day to day-all good & hard-working people-seeking a stable life for their families. Thank you for helping us in so many ways-and others in the community. You are a mighty force for good! Merry Christmas! Love, Anne
Wow! I am so blessed. I cannot even begin to put into words how much your generous gift means to me. Not even living in the W. 7th neighborhood means that I am blessed doubly. You are all in my thoughts and prayers for what you do for those in need. Merry Christmas, and may God bless you all. Karen
