Giving Hearts Program 2024 Brings Joy to More Than 100 Area Families for Christmas

The Friends of Coal Ladies Auxiliary Giving Hearts Program provides for families in need of a little helping hand at Christmas and all through the year. Thirty-Seven (37) families with children attending area schools from Clearfork, Marshfork, Mabscott, Liberty, Mullens, Ridgeview, Stratton and Fairdale were given toys, pajamas, coats, and clothing for each child in the family. FOCLA also supported seventeen (17) Military Families who have a loved one deployed serving our great country. These families were from Charleston, Parkersburg, Kenna, Camp Dawson, Fairmont, Clarksburg and Buchanan. All families were given two boxes of food plus two hams and a turkey breast to enjoy for their holiday dinner.  Every family also received a beautiful Christmas flower arrangement donated by Flowers by Nancy. Gifts were made possible by gracious donations from corporations and individuals as well as profits made from the sale of merchandise through the FOCLA online store.  If you would like more information about the Giving Hearts Program or want to support the program with a donation, please contact the FOC Ladies at 304-255-1457 or visit our website www.friendsofcoalladies.com.  FOCLA wishes you and yours many, many blessings at Christmas and all through the year!  It is a privilege to serve our wonderful community!
