Illinois REALTORS® staff collected donations, then shopped for a mother and her two young children before wrapping $1,500 worth of presents. The gifts were dropped off at the nonprofit Springfield shelter so the family remains anonymous.
“We want to thank everyone who helped us make this family’s holiday a little brighter, whether they donated money, bought gifts or wrapped presents,” said Brandi Moore, Assistant Operations Manager, who helped coordinate the effort on behalf of Illinois REALTORS®. “It has become an annual tradition for us to adopt a local family and once again, everyone’s generosity allowed us to get everything on the family’s wish list and more.”
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.
