"There's magic surrounding Christmas that no child should be deprived of. A gift is wonderful, but it pales in comparison to knowing someone is thinking about you and cares enough to help."
SALT LAKE CITY, UT, December 23, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- As many children prepare for a visit from Santa and enjoy the closeness of their families, some find themselves hoping for any sort of present and others are without a home this Christmas. Thankfully, Toys For Tots will be providing a new toy for needy children across the U.S., Covenant House Missouri (CHMO) will offer refuge and services to homeless teens in St. Louis, and Chicago Youth Centers Fellowship House will be giving under-served children in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood the tools they need to help them reach their full potential. TurboTitleLoan.com, a leader in the online auto title loan industry is helping these organizations spread Christmas cheer to the children and teens that need it most.
Christmas is supposed to be a time of joy and giving, but for many children and teens it is a stark reminder of how little they have or how desperate their lives have become. Others struggle with academic or social issues that threaten to hamper their progress. Dedicated organizations work year round to ease these children's burdens and their work is especially important during the Christmas season. Toys for Tots will distribute millions of new toys to disadvantaged children nationwide. CHMO will continue to assist homeless and at-risk teens in St. Louis with housing and services as they did for thousands in 2013. Children who participate in the various programs offered in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood by the Fellowship House will find them empowering and nurturing. TurboTitleLoan.com is awed by the dedication and efforts of these fine organizations. As an online company serving communities across the country, TurboTitleLoan.com wanted to assist them in delivering the messages of hope and joy this Christmas.
TurboTitleLoan.com delivered toys, games, athletic equipment and art supplies to Fellowship House. They also hosted an impromptu party with cookies and juice while the children surveyed their gifts. Toys For Tots and CHMO received financial gifts that will help provide toys, toiletries, and other necessities to children and teens who need them.
"There is a magic surrounding Christmas that no child should be deprived of. A gift is wonderful, but it pales in comparison to knowing someone is thinking about you and cares enough to help." said a TurboTitleLoan.com spokesperson.
