On behalf of ServiceNet and the children we serve through the Days Inn family shelter, Greenfield Family Inn, and REACH Early Intervention Program, I want to thank everyone who contributed so generously to the recent toy drive coordinated in partnership with the Greenfield Health Department.

From students at area schools and in a local riding program, to parents and grandparents who added extra children to their shopping lists, and the seamstress who ran up several baby quilts to wrap around our youngest guests, this was a true community-wide effort. And while the children in ServiceNet’s programs may never know who provided their toys, books, and art supplies, they will remember the warmth and goodwill that surrounded them over the holidays. As will their parents.

The caring this community has shown means so much to families who have come through so much to find safety and welcome for their children. Thank you!

Amy Timmins

Vice president of community relations for ServiceNet, Greenfield
