Representatives from the three organizations came to collect their gifts and each explained how the donation would benefit their cause. Tessa Maxsimic, director of special events for Father Joe’s, said the money would buy gifts for homeless children. Hands United director Agnes Barrelet said the donation would help construct a classroom in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Angels Foster Family Network assistant director Rachel Zahn said the money would fund programs to support local foster families with babies.
