In spite of economic hardships, quarantine and the complexities of shopping, wrapping, and delivering gifts during a pandemic, YOU came through for children cared for by Orchard Place.
Best Holiday Drive Ever!
Financial Contributions: $33,345

Happier Holidays for 974 children and families including:
3,000 gifts! That’s 3,000 wishes granted and needs covered. WOW!
361 new winter coats that fit | 300 warm hats and sets of gloves | 211 pairs of new boots
From high school students volunteering to wrap presents night after night, to companies finding creative ways to mobilize their remote workforces, to an anonymous donor stopping by Orchard Place the day before Thanksgiving to cover gifts for 100 kids, our hearts are full of gratitude.
"My grandson and granddaughter really enjoy the Christmas gifts they get through Orchard Place. It helps lighten their spirits and gives them something more to look forward to. It also gives them the feeling that someone else cares." – Family served by PACE
“This is so heartwarming; amid the challenges of 2020, that so many reached out to help the children and families we care for enjoy this special time of year,” Orchard Place CEO Anne Starr
Special thanks to (and from) Brandie Broadhead, CVA, Director of Volunteers & Special Events, who orchestrates the holiday magic!
