ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Imagine buying personalized Christmas gifts for 3,500 children each year. For Founder Patti Jacques and her team of volunteers at Gifts for All God's Children, that dream is a reality. What started as a simple giving tree in a church annex in 1987 has now blossomed into a bustling Christmas workshop "Right Down the Street." Join Mayor Barnett as he sits down with Patti, who walks us through the inspiring journey of GFAGC, explaining how her simple vision grew into a massive volunteer effort and a beacon of hope for thousands of children.
