This week, our staff get to experience the joy of seeing our clients' faces light up when they receive holiday gifts -- thanks to the generosity of community donors!
A huge thank you to all of the elves at the Fairbanks Emblem Club 109, Altman, Rogers & Co. and Stoel Rives LLP!
The gifts themselves are appreciated; the feeling that someone took thought, time and care into giving them will last forever.

Good food, fun games, much to be thankful for! We heard there was a dance off but sadly no video.
