As much as the holiday season and cold months present an opportunity to spend quality time with loved ones, they also present several challenges. Temperatures drop and the need for vital necessities like food, shelter and clothing become more crucial than ever.

Back in November "Partners in Time" volunteers from Macy's participated in a special "Thanksgiving Turkey Basket Project". Together, they prepared over 200 baskets that were filled with all of the fixings for a delicious holiday meal!

In addition, Mary Anne Fusco of Towne Realty kicked off her 14th Annual Coat Drive to benefit our organization, this winter. This months-long effort yielded hundreds of coats for men women and children in the locations that we support.
