A Thank You to our Youth Group

Youth Group Parents & Youth Group Board and Members:

Thanks so much for the great effort you made in helping to collect books (and spreading the word to others) for Open Door Family Medical Centers.  We collected hundreds of books for underprivileged children who visit these centers across the country– including the one in Mount Kisco, NY.

 

Here is their thank you letter to you:
On behalf of the physicians, nurse practitioners, staff, and most importantly, the patients at Open Door Family Medical Center in Mount Kisco, I am writing to thankyou for organizing an incredibly successful book drive. Of our 4,500 patients in Mount Kisco, 40o/o are children, and all of them come from families that are struggling financially. Sending each child who visits our Health Center home with a book they can keep is an invaluable gift. After a summer of school physicals and a fall of flu shots, our shelves were looking a little bare. Thanks to the generosity of the families at |FC, they are now filled with wonderful, age appropriate books, and our closets are stocked to refill the shelves when needed. The families we care for greatly appreciate being able to return home with a book every time they visit us. Thank you for helping us in that effort.
If you are reading this and still want to donate books to this cause, please contact our Religious School Director who will direct you for your donation.
