The Kearney Family Foundation’s primary operation delivers food, clothing and holiday gifts to families which have been identified by schools and other local organizations to be in need during the holiday season. In 2008 alone, The Kearney Family Foundation assisted over 425 individuals and over 100 families. We would like to share just a small sampling of the many stories from those we have had the privilege of assisting.

My family and I would like to thank you for the gifts and groceries given to us for the Christmas holidays. I am currently unemployed and my husband's construction business is very slow. We were only going to give a few presents from Santa this year and your gifts of clothing and toys for our children and ourselves made Christmas a more joyous occasion. Our 14 year old daughter has currently finished treatment for a brain tumor and most of our money has and is going to her treatment and mortgage. Please keep us in your prayers that all goes well.  Thank you again for the gifts of groceries, clothing and toys for the children.

"The Kearney Family Foundation came to the rescue," Mandy said. "Because of this wonderful foundation, my children had Christmas. I was overwhelmed with the love and care that goes into this foundation each year. We would never be able to have the Christmas we have without it, and my children and I are truly grateful."

We have many letters of thanks...we're pulling some more together to share with you...
