Thank you for making For The Child one of the beneficiaries of the toy drive at "A Night at Bethlehem," coordinated with much detail by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Sainrts, Los Alamitos Ward. Our hearts are full this season!

We are again grateful for the Delta Kappa Gamma Books and Bears Holiday brunch benefiting For The Child. Members of Delta Kappa Gamma brought fun new children’s books, soft cuddly teddy bears and stuffed animals to be given to children during our Santa's Workshop and at CART callouts. A total of 134 books and 88 stuffed animals were collected! These women educators know firsthand how trauma can derail a child's learning and development.

For The Child's Isabel and Edith attended on our behalf and enjoyed the many members thanking them for the work that For The Child does daily.

Thank you Delta Kappa Gamma Long Beach Chapter! You make a difference!!

Set-up some holiday fun with your kids and make some memories! Spending time together to make the holidays brighter and more special is am important tradition to set with your kids. Some crafts and movies is a great way to spend an evening bonding. It is in these calm times that children open up. Create these opportunities, you'll be glad you did. They grow up so fast!

The tradition continues! Derek Grossman took over the responsbilities from his older brothers to annually coordinate a toy and game drive for For The Child's Santa's Workshop! Derek Grossman, Dylan Howe, and Ford Ristau collected 315 toys this year. We couldn't be more impressed by these young men from Pacific Palisades.
Special thanks to mom, Kerry Grossman, who drove all they way down to Long Beach in Friday night rush hour traffic to deliver the amazing collection. Thank you!

If you haven't yet enjoyed Miracle at the Ordinarie in downtown Long Beach, we encourage you to make a reservation and enjoy a cup of cheer and more. They are generously donating the sales of their hats to For The Child! We couldn't be more excited and appreciative! We will be there this Sunday starting at 11:30 a.m. if you would like to stop by and hear more about the difference we make in the lives of abused and neglected children. We hope to see you--and buy a hat! They sure are cute!
