The Super Yacht contingent within NMTA has adopted the Forgotten Children's Fund as their official chairty. And, wow, talk about an impact this charity makes in the lives of children throughout the area. Just this year, volunteers are busy wrapping some 20,000 gifts, toys, jackets and bicycles to deliver to 700 families at Christmas, complete with Santa’s and elves.
“We spend months buying new toys, books, winter coats and stocking stuffers so that families who might otherwise go without, can have a happy holiday,” said Dan Wood, President of the Forgotten Children’s Fund and an active member of NMTA. “Our volunteer Santa and elves distribute all these gifts at Christmas to families and their children who aren’t receiving aid from other organizations.”
The giving doesn't stop when the holiday season ends. Santa and his elves can help determine whether the family needs help beyond the holidays, such as additional food or money to buy the heating bill.
Right now, more donations and volunteers are welcome to create holiday cheer for families who otherwise would have little to celebrate. FCF is run entirely by volunteers, and because of supplier contributions and purchasing relationships, each dollar donated is stretched to its fullest.
Forgotten Children’s Fund volunteers deliver toys to families in King, Pierce, Snohomish, Island, Whatcom, Skagit and Chelan counties. To support the Forgotten Children, please visit: www.forgottenchildrensfund.org
