“I greatly appreciate the help – from all you who collected items and backpacks to the ones of you who showed up tonight to volunteer your time during this busy holiday season. The children’s faces said it all as they received their backpacks and toys. We were able to deliver 100 backpacks to the children at the Coalition tonight … Thank you [AOA] for your generosity and thoughtfulness this time of year!”
