“The holidays can be a difficult time for many of the families that the Mission Society serves. I hope this gathering inspires people to learn more about our impactful programs and to give back to help lift others up. Every child deserves the opportunity to succeed and our work at the Mission Society makes a huge difference in eliminating the barriers they may face in doing so,” shared Jean Shafiroff.
