Making the Holidays Brighter for Kids
Shop for an Angel is an FRC holiday tradition created sixteen years ago when the staff decided to try to fill the void felt by many children during the holiday season.
Friends come together to provide toys and gifts for the children FRC serves, brightening their holidays and bringing back simple joys. In 2009, Shop for an Angel will supply gifts for over 700 children! Donated new toys, games and books (wrapping paper too!) and hats and mittens will help FRC provide something special for every boy and girl from newborn age to young adult.
