Margaret Freer, one of the owners of Freer Auto Body, said Christmas in July ended up being another “amazing” day.
“The credit goes to our friends that make the effort and sell the raffles,” Taylor and Lily Freer, Margaret’s granddaughters the organizers of the event, said. “Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I am amazed at the generosity of the workers and the generosity of the ticket sellers. I know selling those raffles is not an easy task, but I truly appreciate your dedication and drive to help those in need.
“You are all winners in my book. You have helped buy coats, shoes, food, blankets, personal hygiene items and yes toys for our needy. I know the effort people put into this takes work and a kind heart. Thank you and we cannot express our gratitude enough for all you do to make Christmas in July such a success.”
