Yesterday, our training room looked a little different—packed with toys, clothes, books, and wish-list treasures for the 14 children we adopted through the Salvation Army Giving Tree.
As we organized every gift, it struck us just how meaningful this tradition truly is. Ensuring that a child wakes up to a Christmas morning filled with joy, that’s the kind of work that reminds us why we do what we do.
At Kensington Electronics, we may not be a billion-dollar corporation, but we’ve always believed that impact isn’t measured in revenue, it’s measured in heart. Every company can make a difference in their local community.
To our team: Thank you for giving up your lunch time to organize the piles of presents into individual, child centered bags.
To the Salvation Army: Thank you for letting us be a small part of a much bigger mission.
And to the kids—though we’ll never meet—you’ve brought more joy to our office than you know.
About The Salvation Army Angel Tree Adoption
Since 1979, The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program has helped to fulfill the Christmas wishes and needs of children up to 12 years old throughout Central Texas. Low-income families apply to the program starting in September and provide The Salvation Army with a Christmas wish list for each child that includes new toys or games, along with clothing and shoe sizes. Donors then can “adopt” each of these Angels and fill an Angel Tree bag with gifts chosen for each child. Gifts are then distributed to parents a week before Christmas.
