2024 Resident Holiday Gift Drive
Dear Donors and Investors of Continental Realty Group and Community Growth Foundation,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Thank you for your donation and contribution to our 2024 Resident Holiday Gift Drive!
The Community Growth Foundation (CGF) is thrilled to announce the incredible success of our 3rd Annual Holiday Gift Drive! In partnership with Continental Realty Group (CRG), we nearly doubled the donations compared to last year, allowing us to bring even more hope and joy to residents this holiday season.
Expanding Our Reach and Impact
This annual tradition began in 2022, with a simple but powerful goal: to bring extra holiday cheer to residents facing challenges. From the start, the feedback was overwhelming. Last year, with the help of generous donors, we distributed 60 pre-loaded cash debit cards to residents in need. This year, thanks to your incredible support, we’ve been able to expand our reach even further.
Donor contributions, matched by CGF up to $50,000, enabled us to provide financial relief to residents in the form of cash debit cards of up to $1,000 each. These funds directly impacted individuals and families who were identified by on-site teams as facing significant challenges.
Stories of Hope
Behind every donation is a story of someone whose life has been touched by your generosity. Here are just a few examples of the lives that have been impacted:
A single mother working tirelessly to provide for her children.
A family recovering from unexpected health challenges and hospital bills.
A resident grieving the loss of a loved one and struggling to find joy during the holidays.
A local police officer known for serving the community and helping neighbors in need.
The smiles, gratitude, and heartfelt appreciation from these residents are a testament to the power of this initiative. One recipient shared:
“The kindness and generosity shown by CGF and CRG have been truly life-changing. It’s amazing to know that people care and are willing to help.”
Thank You for Making It Possible
At CGF, we believe in the power of community to change lives. None of this would have been possible without the generosity of donors like you and the dedicated efforts of CRG, CGF, Property Management, and Apartment Life’s Management’s on-site teams. Together, we’ve not only met needs but also spread hope, love, and joy to individuals and families.
As we reflect on the success of this year’s drive, we’re filled with gratitude and inspired to continue building on this impactful tradition. Thank you for being part of this journey and for making the holidays brighter for so many.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
