Illinois REALTORS® staff members combined their resources to help a Springfield-area mother and her three children for Christmas 2019.
(l to r) Dana Gurnsey, Stephanie Price, Brandi Moore, Kelli Jessup and Lyndee Fein handled the gift wrapping.
Using a wish list prepared by the mother, staff members shopped, gift wrapped and delivered more than $1,300 worth of presents to Contact Ministries in Springfield.
“We were able to get all the items on family’s wish list,” said Brandi Moore, accounting/operations assistant, who helped coordinate the effort. “Thanks to everyone who donated, bought gifts and wrapped presents.”
Contact Ministries provides food, shelter, clothes, financial help and life skills training to people in need. It is located at 1100 East Adams in Springfield.
