To All Of Our Supporters,

I must say that it is always astonishing how quickly a year goes by since, as you read this, we will be in the midst of Holiday Express Season 16. It should also be obvious to everyone, however, that with the country in
the midst of a huge economic downturn, the people we visit may be the most harshly affected of all. That is why it is all the more important that we dedicate ourselves to the service of these “most needy of the needy.”
As we rejoin them a year later, I am sure we
will all, once again, be struck by the sense
of “there but for the grace of God go I.” Our mission is to deliver the gift of human kindness to those in need, and through the kindness and generosity of countless “elves,” we are making all of this possible.
