Youth Development Participants Receive Holiday Gifts from the Community

"Book Angels" at Valley Bookseller

Stillwater-based bookstore Valley Bookseller hosted a campaign to help spark a passion for reading in local youth. This annual fundraiser allows FamilyMeans participants to request a specific book or topic that they would like to read. Paper angels with the youth's name and wish are placed throughout the store for customers to purchase. All angels were purchased and we received an extra surprise of donated gift cards! These contributions mean that each youth program participant will receive a new book this holiday season.

Stillwater Motors Toy Drive

For the past 14 years, Stillwater Motors has collected holiday gifts for youth in our community. Each year, FamilyMeans is blown away by the generosity of the Stillwater Motors' staff and community who help to fill a room with toys for our families. Thank you for helping to bring special gifts to youth in our programs!

Student Assurance Service Toy Drive

Another longstanding supporter of our toy drive is Student Assurance Service. This year marks year 12 of support, and FamilyMeans couldn't be more grateful for this dedication. Generous gifts from Student Assurance Service filled another room with toys that have been distributed to Cimarron and Landfall families for the holidays! Thank you for your generous gifts!

A special thank you to Stillwater Sunrise Rotary, First Presbyterian Church, First United Methodist, and the many additional individual donors that contributed to our holiday gift drive for the families in Cimarron and Landfall. Your generosity allows for local families to have a special holiday season.

The 2023 fundraiser will be held on Thursday, March 30 at JX Event Venue in Stillwater. The event promises to be extra special as we celebrate the Agency's 60 years of success and work to ensure a bright future! Watch your email for more information and ticket sales in the coming weeks.
