Leadership Geauga “Stuffs the Van” for Family Pride Families

This year, Family Pride was picked by Leadership Geauga, a local nonprofit that focuses on building bridges between the public, private, and non-profit sectors with annual programs that inform, educate, connect and inspire seasoned and future decision-makers of Geauga County, to benefit from their annual Holiday donation event!  Despite barriers created by the pandemic, the amazing group held a “stuff the van” drive through event with Santa, Buddy the Elf, and Leadership Geauga helpers to collect donations of blankets, winter clothing, cleaning supplies, and monetary donations.  The group raised more than $2,000 which has directly helped more than 25 local children and their families during the holidays and winter season.  Family Pride is honored to have been picked and so glad that we could make the holidays a little brighter together!
