Ford Employee Christmas Fund

Ford Employee Christmas Fund (ECF) is an organization that helps families in need have a happy Christmas buy donating food and presents.  This group of Ford employees have been helping local families and individuals since 1959, and this is their 58th year!  They help over 120 families every year.  I baked several dozen cookies and muffins for ECF, which they sold at a bake sale to raise money to buy all of the supplies.  I chose to help ECF specifically because every year my family and I help ECF deliver the packages to the families that have been selected to receive donations.  We get a box of food and toys to deliver to a family. Each year, when we drop off the donations, the families are very grateful and relieved to be able to celebrate Christmas with a nice meal and presents for their kids.  Christmas is really special to me.  It's my favorite time of year, and it makes me sad to think that not every family can have the same kind of Christmas that we have in my family.  Helping ECF gives me an opportunity to make a difference and bring joy to others.
