Here at Ron Jackson Agency, November Quotes For A Cause is becoming a holiday tradition. We pool our QFAC money and our weekly staff donations for the entire year. Every Friday, we have the option of wearing jeans for a $2.00 donation. In addition to that, we can bring our pets to work for $3.00 more! All year we collect these donations in piggy banks we affectionately refer to as our Charity Pigs! This year, as a staff, we collected over $600.00. We provided 210 quotes in November which totals $630.00. We put these two amounts together for $1,295.00. Our holiday tradit
ion begins with a great local organization, Open Doors. We turn to them and ask that they identify families they are working with who can use some holiday help. This year, the amazing and wonderful, Stephanie Hoffman, Deputy Director at Open Doors, suggested three young men. All three are high school students who are good citizens, good students, and participate in extra-curricular activities. We jumped at the opportunity to help provide a special holiday for these young men and in doing so help their parents out as well. It was a lot of fun shopping for high school students! A special shout-out to Shane Lyons! Shane is the son of our team member, Christine Lyons. Christine and Shane spent an evening finding just the exact items requested. Our team wrapped and delivered our gifts on December 23. We met many family members; hugs and even tears of appreciation made all of us remember the meaning of the season. Thank you to all of our quote-seekers, to Open Doors for their commitment to our community, and to our team here at Ron Jackson Agency for generous hearts and spirits.
