GIFT WRAPPING FOR LOW INCOME CHILDREN - 12/23/19

Right before Christmas, our group helped Santa to wrap gifts for children in low income families. Every year, FGT prepares 80,000 gifts each year to low-income families with the help of 8,000 volunteers. We really enjoyed this activity. Some of the gifts on the children’s wish list were small items that we take for granted, such as umbrella, alarm clocks, etc.  ​​
