Christmas for Kids @ Taction - The Contact Center

Each year Taction "adopts" 25-30 children, ranging in age from infants to 17 years old, through the Department of Human Services, State of Maine. This annual effort is coordinated through our Human Resources Department and our local Health and Human Services (DHS) office. For most of these children this will be the only gifts they receive. DHS provides a first name, age, size, favorite color, likes, wants, and needs for each child. These key insights allow "adoptees" to provide gifts that are meaningful for each individual child.

Employee volunteers sign up to "adopt" a child (or several) for Christmas starting in the fall. Those that are not individually "adopted" are provided gifts by Taction's Community Services and Wellness Committee (CSaW) fund to ensure that each child on the list has a merry Christmas. Monies are raised throughout the year for this effort by assigning special "Jeans Days", "Jeans Week", and holding auctions, book sales, and general donations all of which are completely employee funded.
We are pleased to note we are on our way to creating
a few more smiles, on Christmas morning, again this year!

No one likes to think of a child going without on Christmas!
