Another Successful Season
The Secret Santa Program of Branford Counseling Center enjoyed another successful season due to the generous donations of individuals, families, and businesses in our community. Thanks to their generosity, 620 needy Branford residents had a joyous Christmas.
A special thanks goes to the First Congregational Church for offering space to us to operate the Secret Santa Program. This centralized location made it easier to drop off and pick up gifts.
I would also like to thank volunteer Kathy Nelson for her onsite leadership of the program and the volunteers and to Sharon Patterson of the Branford Counseling Center for the guidance she offered to Kathy, the volunteers, and us. Additionally, I would like to thank the Pantani family and friends, whose countless hours and generous donations helped make this program a success.
On behalf of the Branford Counseling Center’s staff, the recipients, and all the volunteers, our thanks again to our generous community.
Peter Cimino, Executive Director
