Through a partnership formed with The Villages, a non-profit child and family services agency, employees of Premiere Credit, an Indiana-based accounts receivable management company, dedicated themselves to collecting something different during the holiday season — toys for needy families in the Indianapolis area.
During the month of December, snowflakes bearing an individual child’s name, age and Christmas wish were available for employees to choose.
“Our initial goal was to provide 50 kids with their holiday wish list,” said Shane Archer, Vice President, Operations. “The campaign was launched on December 1st. By December 6th we had already surpassed our goal with more than 90 snowflakes claimed by employees.”
The successful toy drive resulted in the collection of gifts for dozens of appreciative children. As a token of thanks, campaign organizer, Joseph Baquero, Manager, Corporate and Client Services, received an ornament, handmade by one of the gift recipients. “Through the generosity of our employees, we collected gifts valued at nearly $4,000.00 for more than 120 children,” said Baquero.
”When combined with the results of our recent United Way campaign our employees have raised more than $35,000 in the past four months for local charities,” said Rob Meck, President and CEO.”I am overwhelmed by the generosity of our team and their deep sense of community.”
