Children in Brevard County\u2019s foster care system and the\u00a0Brevard C.A.R.E.S.<\/a>\u00a0abuse prevention program can look forward to gifts for the Holidays thanks to several local businesses and organizations, including\u00a0Gatto\u2019s Tires and Auto Service<\/a>.\u00a0 The company\u2019s six locations throughout Brevard will be designated drop-off locations for Brevard Family Partnership\u2019s annual Holiday gift drive that benefits the many children who will not be spending the Holidays in their own homes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Local businesses, including\u00a0EG&G<\/a>, His Place Ministries,\u00a0Indyne, Inc.<\/a>,\u00a0Lockheed-Martin<\/a>, faith groups from theBrevard Interfaith Coalition<\/a>, and service men and women at\u00a0Patrick Air Force Base<\/a>\u00a0will be collecting and donating toys, games and clothing for over 1,500 children who reside in foster homes, group homes, or with relative and non-relative caregivers, or being served by the Brevard C.A.R.E.S. prevention program. Also included in this effort are some of the children in the Independent Living program who have aged out of the formal foster care system. Without the compassion and support of these partners many children would have no gifts to open on their special holiday.\u00a0 The goal is to have a minimum of one gift to give, per child, though every effort is made to fulfill three gift requests each.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gatto\u2019s Tires and Auto Service came on board this year to lend a hand after learning of the opportunity to provide a special contribution for children served through the child welfare programs provided by Brevard Family Partnership and its partners.\u00a0 \u201cWe hope that having our locations as collection points for these children will encourage both our customers and the community at-large to help with this important effort,\u201d said Gatto\u2019s president, Pam Gatto.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019re a family business and our family is happy to be a part of what Brevard Family Partnership is doing for children and families in our community.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

New, unwrapped gifts for boys and girls from birth to 17 years can be dropped off at any of the Gatto\u2019s Tires and Auto Service locations in Cocoa, Melbourne, Merritt Island, Palm Bay and Suntree-Viera through December 6.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gifts collected will be delivered to a central warehouse in Melbourne on December 7.\u00a0 From there, Brevard Family Partnership staff and case managers from\u00a0Children\u2019s Home Society<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Devereux<\/a>\u00a0will distribute the gifts to foster parents, caregivers and group homes in time for the Holidays.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Businesses and organizations wishing to participate in Brevard Family Partnership\u2019s gift drive can get more information by visiting\u00a0www.fpocf.org<\/a>\u00a0or calling (321) 752-4650.<\/span><\/p>\n
