ADMA Employees Donate Gifts to Area Homeless and Children

NORTH HUNTINGDON, PA, December 15, 2010 (Press-News.org) Employees at ADMA Solutions, a debt resolution company, along with their partners at Century Negotiations and Premier Institute for Financial Freedom (PIFF), are donating gifts to charity this holiday season through two Caring Trees.

The Caring Trees, located in two office locations, are adorned with angel and star ornaments which list the gender, age, and first name of someone in need. Employees are encouraged to take an ornament and purchase a $10 present.

PIFF's Patty Churchill of Human Resources and Leyna Spaniel of Quality Control came up with the idea of a charity tree so employees could give back to the community, instead of to each other, and they have been blown away by the response. The pair initially put 60 ornaments on the tree, but they went so quickly that they decided to make more.

"People were coming by and taking the ornaments even as we were putting them up," explained Spaniel. Spaniel and Churchill made the ornaments themselves. They collaborated with two area homeless shelters and took suggestions from employees about local families who would greatly benefit from receiving a present; so each present is intended for a specific child or adult in the community.

"It's especially rewarding knowing a little bit about the person receiving my gift," explained Churchill. "There's an angel on my desk that lists a 47-year-old man who loves basketball. Even though he'll spend this Christmas in a homeless shelter, I know he'll be getting at least one gift he really might enjoy."

The trees were decorated on November 30th and all of the ornaments have been claimed. Presents will be collected on December 17th and distributed to the homeless shelters and to households throughout the community.

"I am so proud of our employees and their obvious enthusiasm for this idea," said ADMA Solutions Founder and CEO Dave Leuthold. "Our companies are used to working together to help people across the country get out of debt, but it's just as wonderful to witness employees going out of their ways to help people in their community this time of year."
