What are your earliest memories of Christmas? Is it Santa, a room full of presents or family gatherings? Children in Catholic Charities unaccompanied minor program (UMP) recently got their first taste of Christmas.
These children entered the country without a parent, some as refugees from war-torn countries. They are placed with a foster care family as they learn a new language and customs, while going to school.
Westin Kierland Resort and Spa recently worked with Catholic Charities by creating Thinking of You notes. Three hundred volunteers spent hours creating these notes that will be given to clients in our various programs.
