Books, clothing, gift cards and toys are being donated to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul of North Texas' Christmas Angel Program, giving these items to families in need.
"So we are Catholic and we've always known about the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and we've just always contributed financially and with other donations," Reilly's mother Jennifer Nachowiak said."It makes a huge difference." "I think the fact that they give money to people in need, I really like that," he said."That is my favorite part."
"It's great to know that we have a great community that comes together during the holidays," Christmas Angel Program participant Anna Graciano-Celis said. "Definitely this past year we've seen an increase, a significant increase with the economy being the way it is," Society of St. Vincent de Paul of North Texas CEO Luis Gonzalez said.
"We're a family of six and so to feed six people you know it's pretty pricey," Graciano-Celis said."Going to the store once a week you know before we could spend about $100 now it's $300 and I'm very grateful for everyone's generosity."
