The Coral Springs Chamber of Commerce Ambassador committee recently raised over $1,000 to fulfill the “holiday wish list” of two families: a single mom with three children and a disabled single mom with six children. Both families reside in Coral Springs. It is the third year in a row that the committee has given back to the community by adopting working families in need.
The committee helped in the purchase of bicycles with helmets for children. Other gifts included educational games and books, a DVD player, cars, dolls, blocks, diapers, pots and pans, and gift cards.
The adoptive families were chosen for the chamber by Family Central, a nonprofit organization that serves children and families from all socioeconomic backgrounds and provides technical assistance and training to nearly 1,200 child care facilities in Broward, Palm Beach and Dade counties.
