Employees of the Harrison, Arkansas, division recently pooled their resources to purchase an entire shopping cart of Easter candy for local foster children.
This donation was given to The Call in Baxter County and placed in baskets to be distributed Easter morning to the foster children.
The Call is a nonprofit that is changing lives by actively recruiting, training and supporting foster and adoptive parents. The Call assists 18 families with 14 “smiling” foster children, says Russell Tucker, business development account manager in Harrison.
Tucker personally knows the people who launched The Call, and he and his wife have served as a respite home for children in the foster system. “We just have a heart for adoption and a heart for foster care,” he says. Because of that, he brought the Easter Candy idea to his co-workers, and they gladly joined in.
“Everyone was very supportive of the idea, and we filled up a basket of candy,” he says. In fact, the team donated $200 of candy. “We couldn’t have done it without the division stepping up.”
