What a fun event that enhanced the holiday season with our amazing partner, Civic Heart Community Services!
Gift of Giving: Our team had the opportunity to spread joy and make a difference this weekend while volunteering at the 19th annual Civic Heart Community Services Gift of Giving event! More than 65 children received toys and gift cards sponsored by Primary Services and the community while playing games, decorating cookies, and of course, meeting Santa! Every year, our hearts are touched as we bring the magic of the season to families in need who are working toward a brighter future. Thank you, Civic Heart, for empowering the community with life-changing programs and inviting our team to make a positive impact bringing cheer to our neighbors! #volunteering #partnership #holidaycheer #santa
