Generous donations from individuals, schools, youth groups, churches and businesses helped to make the holidays warmer and merrier for more than 1,500 children and parents through the 2013 Adopt-A-Family Program run by Astor Services for Children & Families in Rhinebeck.
The organization announced, in a news release, that “Santa’s helpers” collected gifts from workplace toy drives and churches, and numerous companies and individuals “adopted” families or children and donated toys, home goods, and other items. Some families and organizations adopted all the children in an entire Astor program, purchasing and delivering gifts and providing entertainment for them.
James McGuirk, Executive Director/CEO for Astor, noted in the news release, “I want to thank all of our past and new donors who participated in our program, which truly makes a difference in so many lives. It shows how our community cares about children and families in need.”
