his holiday season, the employees of Parkside Credit Union of Livonia, MI played Secret Santa for 28 of the boys who reside on the Methodist Home campus in Redford. The Methodist Children’s Home has been caring for Children in need for 95 years. They currently help boys who have been abused and/or neglected, creating a safe haven for them.
The boys Parkside purchased presents for range in age from six to 17. A trunk-load of gifts, including MP3 players, walkie talkies and Bayblades was dropped off on Friday, December 14 at the Methodist Home and will be opened by the children on Christmas morning.
A staff member from Parkside commented, “It makes you feel good to know that your contribution will put a smile on these children’s faces.” Heather Karschner, Development & Marketing Associate at the Methodist Children’s Home stated “We’re excited to say that the boys’ wish lists have been filled. We want to say ‘THANK YOU so much’ to those who made our Donation Drop-Off Day a success!”
Parkside staff had a blast shopping for the boys. Many of the toys were items staff had never heard of. The shopping trips were definitely filled with education on what toys are hot this year. The Parkside staff is excited to help the residents of the Methodist Children’s Home Society this Christmas and throughout the coming year.
