  The Spirit of Giving Network

 

In concert with the Schmidt Family Foundation, the Boca Raton Junior League directs the Spirit of Giving Network, with annual holiday gift, summer camp kits and school supplies drives. The program serves most of the major local not-for-profit agencies and involves countless generous donors from all areas of our community. The program, launched in 2001 by philanthropist Barbara Schmidt, recognizes the need for coordination among local agencies to best serve children in need with a personalized approach to gift giving. Today, Spirit of Giving serves more than 1500 children in programs including: Boca Raton Housing Authority (CATS Program), Boys & Girls Club of Boca Raton, Boca Helping Hands Children Assistance Program, Children’s Place at Homesafe (South) Florence Fuller Child Development Centers, In The Pines, Kids @ Home, Boca Raton Police Athletic League, PROPEL, The Haven, YMCA of Boca Raton, Youth Activities Center. Generous donors made each child’s holiday truly special in 2005 by purchasing the items on their personalized ornaments – one for clothing and another for toys and games – or making a cash donation. Volunteers from the Junior League of Boca Raton, led by Susan Davis, prepared and decorate the ornaments, which were distributed throughout the community for individuals, corporations and community groups to fulfill.
