As the holiday season approaches, it's time to reflect on the acts of kindness and generosity that have made a difference in the lives of those in need. In the spirit of giving, ICG Foundation are dedicated to supporting local charities and have partnered with Stripey Stork for their Christmas campaign: Santa Stork.
Stripey Stork, a remarkable charity that collects donations of toys, clothes, and essential items for babies and children, plays a vital role in the community. Their mission is to provide support to local families facing hardship by rehoming these items. The Santa Stork campaign is an extraordinary initiative that unites the community to create lasting memories and bring joy to children in need during the festive season.
In the previous year, ICG Foundation generously donated ticket sales from their Gala event towards Stripey Stork's Santa Stork campaign. The funds raised helped ensure that every child and parent referred to Stripey Stork received a special gift, which, in some cases, may have been their main or only present for Christmas. The impact of ICG Foundation's support was truly remarkable, bringing happiness and hope to countless families.
This year, ICG Foundation continued their support for Stripey Stork, with a cash donation towards the charity's efforts.
“Thank you …. for taking away such a pressure and cause of distress for so many families.” Another said, “Without Stripey Stork so many of the families I work with would have struggled. Stripey Stork is an absolute Godsend. Happy Christmas and keep doing what you’re doing!”
As we embrace the holiday spirit, let us remember the significance of giving back to those who need it most. Stripey Stork's Santa Stork campaign serves as a reminder that small acts of kindness can have a profound impact on the lives of others.
