On December 23rd, HomeTelos delivered over $300 in super-store gift cards, a truck-load of kids’ clothing and other great stuff from the Needs List posted by Jonathan’s Place. The donations were generously given by HomeTelos team members and their children.
Why, you ask? As the holidays were approaching, we at HomeTelos wanted engage our families in helping to give back to the community. After receiving some great suggestions from the team, we landed upon Jonathan’s Place and were deeply moved by the extraordinary service this non-profit organization provides to our North Texas community.
What is Jonathan’s Place? A few snippets from their amazing website…
We are an emergency shelter for abused, abandoned and neglected children, age newborn to 17 years. We are the only licensed emergency shelter in the area that serves children under the age of ten (10).
The main program of Jonathan’s Place is serving the abused, abandoned and neglected children of North Texas as an emergency shelter, providing temporary residential and treatment services. This has been the main focus of Jonathan’s Place since the fall of 1999.
Jonathan’s Place is also a Foster & Adoptive Family Program – recruiting, training and verifying foster, foster-to-adopt and adoptive families. We then place children from Child Protective Services and our emergency shelter into their care.”
Many thanks to the HomeTelos team and their families who participated in this grass-roots program to lend a hand to some of our local community’s most vulnerable children this holiday season. We hope that you continue to keep Jonathan’s Place in your thoughts throughout the year.
