Christmas in the City is a nonprofit, 100% volunteer-run
organization that works to ameliorate the affects of homelessness. Every
year they host a holiday party with gifts for every child. Last year
there were over 3,000 guests. Jake Kennedy is a co-founder of this
event. He runs Kennedy Brothers Physical Therapy in Downtown
Boston.
Thanks to the generous support of the reporters and staff at
Doris O. Wong Associates, Inc., we were able to present nine $25 Marshalls gift
certificates to this worthy cause. Children of all ages have special
wishes during the holidays, but we specifically had the older children in mind,
since they are often overlooked. They are homeless and without
resources. With their gift cards, they can go to Marshalls and choose
something to their liking.
There is still time to make a donation. Donations and
toys may be dropped off at the Kennedy Brothers office at 45 Franklin Street, Boston.
