ARCADIA, Wisc. – Ashley’s Angels, an all-volunteer non-profit organization, continued its annual tradition of bringing joy to children in need over the holiday season. This year, Ashley’s Angels raised $170,000 to support 974 children from 311 families across the communities surrounding Ashley facilities in four states including: Mississippi, North Carolina, Florida and Wisconsin.
Each year in late fall, volunteers join Ashley’s Angels for shopping days to pick out apparel, essential items, toys and more, filling a gift bag that is loaded onto an Ashley truck to gift to the selected children. Once shopping is complete, the organization, along with special guest Santa, hauls the loaded trucks to each of the participating schools, delivering gifts to children and their families.
One hundred percent of the funds raised through the organization are used to provide gifts and a holiday meal for children and families who need it most. Throughout the year, Ashley’s Angels hosted a variety of fundraisers including a bass fishing tournament, car show, ice cream social, motorcycle ride, along with employee contributions made through Ashley’s Dollar a Week program…
