This past holiday season, our Portland team came together to make a meaningful difference by adopting a family through the AMEN organization. The family, a courageous young mom and her three boys, was navigating a new chapter after leaving an abusive relationship and starting over with little more than the clothes on their backs.

To help make their Christmas special, we collected and wrapped more than $750 worth of gifts, including:

• A set of basic pots and pans

• Silverware, dish towels, and oven mitts

• Board and card games like Uno, Monopoly, and Sonic-themed games

• Sonic and Mario action figures

• Shoes for the boys in sizes 3, 10, and 11

• A Grocery Outlet gift card to help ease holiday meals

Thanks to the generosity of our team, we were able to bring joy and comfort to this deserving family during a difficult season.

We are so grateful to everyone who contributed to this effort. You truly embody the spirit of giving, and together, we can continue making a real impact in the lives of those who need it most.
