The spirit of selfless generosity is in abundance during the December holidays!
Some of Santa’s elves, disguised as Broadview Federal Credit Union employees, traded in their usual sleigh for large mail hampers, overflowing with treasures destined for our residences, bringing immeasurable warmth on a cold, snowy, and blustery day.
The precious cargo included everything needed for a cozy, joyful winter: soft blankets and socks, boxes and tins of hot cocoa, baking supplies complete with mixing bowls, whisks, rolling pins, and cookie cutters, and craft activity materials, such as construction paper, markers, crayons, glue sticks, and scissors. There were also games, puzzles, and so much more. Living Resources’ CEO Elizabeth Martin shared “that it is moments like this that show the true power of community. Broadview’s kindness goes far beyond gifts, their thoughtfulness brings joy, comfort, and a sense of being seen and valued. We cannot thank them enough for their generous hearts.”
Our dedicated residential department, who knows each individual in our many houses and the things they love to do, is now busy sorting through all the holiday
cheer. They are meticulously curating packages that align with the specific preferences of every person we support. “We are so appreciative of Broadview Bank for once again providing our residential houses with beautifully filled Christmas baskets. Our teams and the individuals we support look forward to this every year. Each basket is created with such care and meaning—crafts, baking activities, games, cozy blankets, socks, hot cocoa, and more. Your generosity brings so much joy and comfort to our homes during the holiday season, and your continued support truly means the world to us. Thank you for helping make this time of year extra special for our residents and staff,” Deputy Director of the Residential Department Myrissa Crossman stated in response to receiving the baskets.
We send out special thanks to our partners at Broadview for their tireless effort in preparing for this extraordinary donation. They worked for months, demonstrating a truly magical commitment to our mission, and words can’t fully express our deep appreciation for their kindness.
