This past Thursday, December 14, Darem visited Baggett Elementary in Lawrenceville, GA, to deliver coats collected through our Holiday Coat Drive. The initiative, made possible by the generous donations and gifts from the community, aimed to provide warmth to children in need during this winter season.
On that day, a significant milestone was reached as 70% of all required items were successfully delivered to the staff who are working hard to provide an environment where students can thrive academically, emotionally, and socially. However, the real triumph came with the invaluable support of Centerpeace of Life Inc., a fantastic partner organization dedicated to bridging the health equity gap. Thanks to their generous donations, every child in need at Bagget Elementary will now have a coat to keep them warm throughout the winter.
Centerpeace of Life Inc. is committed to empowering underserved individuals and families by providing vital resources, unwavering support, and comprehensive health education. Their collaboration with the Holiday Coat Drive exemplifies their dedication to making a positive impact in the community.
Expressing gratitude, we would like to emphasized that the success of this initiative would not have been possible without the overwhelming support from the community. The drive received an outpouring of generosity, showcasing the true spirit of giving during the holiday season.
In the words of Darem’s President and CEO Raquel Ramirez “This holiday coat drive would have never been successful if it wasn’t for the support we received from all of you. Thank you again for giving the gift of joy and warmth this season.”
The collaborative efforts of the community, organizers, and the supportive partner organization have not only delivered physical warmth but have also spread the warmth of compassion and community spirit this holiday season at Bagget Elementary.
