AMBROSE EMPLOYEES ANSWER WINTER WISHES OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN NEED

New York, NY, December 16, 2011 - “My last company participated in this program for several years and it was one that I enjoyed,” says Benefits Specialist and Winter Wishes Organizer Rachael Moore. “Given the chance to participate again this year and bring the tradition to Ambrose seemed like the perfect opportunity.”

Every year, New York Cares, the city’s largest volunteer organization, runs the Winter Wishes for Kids and Families Program. They partner with hundreds of their Community Partners, including homeless shelters and other nonprofit organizations, to provide holiday gifts for disadvantaged community members, many of whom would not otherwise receive gifts during the holidays. They collect and screen more than 34,000 gift requests and send them to volunteers who purchase, wrap and send the gifts to their partners. Unlike other gift giving programs, Winter Wishes offers volunteers the opportunity to learn about the gift recipient through a “Dear Santa” letter.

This holiday season, Ambrose employees answered the wishes of 45 individual children, teens, and families as part of the Winter Wishes Program. Product Research Analyst Kyle Grubman recalls that “The office was buzzing the day we received the letters. I had only been here for a few weeks, but I remember thinking how great it was to see co-workers so excited to give this holiday season. Having spent the last two years teaching high school in Washington, DC, it means a lot to join a culture that seeks out opportunities to help those in need.”

The program furthers Ambrose’s commitment to supporting the communities in which it operates. Ambrose provides its employees with opportunities to participate in community outreach programs by partnering with non-profit organizations.

For more information on the program and how you can participate next year, visit New York Cares.
