THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS!
On Wednesday, December 10, 2025, we were able to distribute gifts for 311 kids, as well as food to 151 families – all were 1st time participants in IFCS’ Helping Hands for the Holidays. Thanks to all the generous donors who provided gifts and food to brighten the holidays for families in need, and all the volunteers who helped pull off this great feat of organization!
Special thanks to our dedicated Volunteers and Community Partners who helped us out:
- Individual volunteers and Volunteer Groups from Kaiser Permanente and Inscribe, who helped with unloading the delivery of gifts, organizing and sorting toys by child and into family groups, creating snack and produce bags for each family, and helping with the distribution event.
- IFCS volunteers, Englewood Libraries, and Book Give, who donated books: enough for each child to receive an age-appropriate book!
- Roonga, who provided the platform that streamlines these child sponsorships and allows IFCS to maximize donations with bulk and wholesale pricing.
- The Littleton Elks who delivered gifts & produce to single seniors living in nearby low-income senior apartment complexes, and Malley Rec Center who coordinated a Giving Tree for them.
- Perian, Sandra, and Kelly from our IFCS Team who worked tirelessly to approve registrations, communicate with recipients, and respond to any questions families had about this program.
Noteworthy Photos: This year we had 3 generations of board directors helping at the distribution event, ranging from the 1990s to today: Ann H, Dolores H, Brad A (current) and Ana H (current)! And don’t miss the colored reindeer and note of gratitude from one of the families who picked up gifts.
