The Renaissance Foundation’s 2023 Spirit Gift Wrapping event was, once again, very successful in Kane County, Illinois and in Aiken County, South Carolina. Due to all of our volunteer support and the generous donations made to The Renaissance Foundation over the past twelve months, we were given the opportunity to add to the happiness of many children on Christmas morning again this year. Special thanks to our individual donors – we hope they know that, without their support, we would be unable to continue our mission to serve the less fortunate children in our communities.
As in the past, all of the hundreds of gifts were individually selected for each of the children and then beautifully wrapped by our numerous shoppers and volunteers, whom we can’t thank enough. We hope they all know how vital they are to fueling our mission to serve the less fortunate in our communities, one child at a time!
