Branford (February 2011) -- Barbara L. Pearce, President and CEO of H. Pearce Company REALTORS®, is pleased to announce the Branford regional office’s participation in the Branford Counseling Center’s Secret Santa program, which offers assistance to Branford residents at Christmas time. “The holiday season can be a trying time for many families,” said Barbara Pearce. “We were so fortunate to be able to extend a helping hand to an organization that provides such indispensable aid.”
Patricia Andriole, Executive Director of the Branford Counseling Center, said, “[Secret Santa] was by far, the busiest and most successful endeavor ever…the Center matched over 190 families and over 500 individuals were served.” This year, more individuals, families, service clubs, schools and Town Departments participated than ever before. Toys, games, books, clothing, bikes, money, gift cards, food, blankets and linens were donated.
Marcia Delfini, REALTOR® in the Branford office, said, “We’ve been doing this project for 8 to 10 years. Everybody is so generous and we usually fulfill the children’s wish lists. They’re so grateful and it’s heartwarming.”
