SANTA'S ELVES FOUNDATION RECEIVES $3,000 PLUM CREEK
FOUNDATION GRANT
TOMAHAWK, Wis.--Nov. 15, 2011--The Plum Creek Foundation
recently awarded a $3,000 grant to the Santa's Elves
Foundation to help fund its annual gift giving and holiday
dinner for underprivileged families.
According to Gail Movrich, vice president of the Santa's
Elves Foundation, the effort was started to help families
that are in need during the holiday season. Each year,
Santa's Elves raises funds to provide families that have
financial hardships with gifts, gift cards and a warm meal
during the holidays.
"Every year we bring presents and food into the homes of
families that could not otherwise afford it," said Movrich.
"With the help of the Plum Creek Foundation, we are
continuing our mission to help as many families as possible
during this holiday season."
Santa's Elves Foundation services Price and southern
Ashland counties. Its goal is to help relieve financial
hardships due to unemployment, low income or other
financial circumstances by providing families with gifts
and dinner. Children under the age of 18, elders over the
age of 62 and those with disabilities qualify for gifts.
Each year they raise donations through fund raisers,
community contributions and grants.
The mission of the Plum Creek Foundation is to provide
philanthropic contributions to support and improve the
general welfare of life in the communities that Plum Creek
serves. The Foundation board meets quarterly to
review applications submitted from organizations in the
company's operating communities. Visit the Community
Involvement page on Plum Creek's website at
