Donations and Contributions - Staff and Board of Directors

Traditional holiday imagery conjures pictures of abundant giving and generosity on the part of friends, family and neighbors. This year was no exception. The Butte community was so kind to us this holiday season. The outpouring of donations, food, money and gifts was nothing short of astounding. Butte really captured the holiday spirit. It is so wonderful to serve in such a supportive community. It is our duty to help, protect and support families in crisis in this community and we couldn’t do it without the immense support given to us here. It is a wonderful relationship. We serve this community and the community in turn encourages and supports us. Thanks Butte, you really do help to make it all worthwhile.

Please know if we inadvertently missed anyone, we apologize. It is not due to a lack of appreciation. We’re deeply grateful for everyone’s consideration and thoughtfulness.
