On Friday December 14th. Mendi Goff and Matthew Seidelman brought them all down to the Family Center.

Mendi said, “The business is only a year old, so this year we wanted to give back to the community.  We decided to get involved with City Union Mission because we had a connection through someone I know, and also because one of our associates recommended the mission.  When we called we found out about their Share A Gift program for inner city kids who attend their after-school program.”

“We have a lot of employees so we were able to provide all the toys that were needed.  We had no idea the mission had an after-school program.  Everyone got so excited about being able to help make the kids Christmas brighter,” added Matthew.   
 
“Oh yes, plus we plan on coming to volunteer on the night the kids get their gifts,” said Mendi
