‘Tis the Season for Holiday Giving at CaseStack
Joining in the spirit of giving, last week CaseStack employees in both Santa Monica and Fayetteville offices participated in a pajama and book drive for the Pajama Program, a non-profit organization that matches donations to local charities across the globe. A total of 32 employees in both offices – 16 in Santa Monica and 16 in Fayetteville – donated 64 sets of children’s pajamas and 23 books – the most successful donation drive for CaseStack to date.

Supporting the holiday adage that it is better to give than to receive, Angela Mayes, a senior warehouse account manager in Santa Monica said that she, “feel[s] overwhelmed with gratitude that I was able to share my love of books for those most deserving.”
The pajamas and books collected in Santa Monica were donated by the Pajama Program to the Promises Foundation and benefited children living with their mothers at Miriam’s House, a sober living facility in California for women seeking treatment for drug and alcohol abuse. The Promises Foundation provides support for the residents of Miriam’s House and according to their website is, “committed to creating a safe environment for mothers and their children to grow and develop the tools they require to live meaningful and self-sufficient lives.” Click here to learn more about the the Promises Foundation and Miriam’s House.
Donations made by the Fayetteville office benefited the Peace at Home Family Shelter, an organization that provides victims of domestic violence in Northwest Arkansas with financial, advocacy and support services. Click here to learn more about the Peace at Home Family Shelter.
Though this is the first year for the Fayetteville CaseStack office to participate in a holiday giving program, employees in Santa Monica have donated to local organizations like the Police Activities League (PAL), Edison Elementary School and the Boys and Girls Club.
With shrinking holiday giving budgets in mind, Melissa Cope, an administrative assistant in Fayetteville, was delighted with the level of employee participation. “I think it is amazing that so many employees donated pajamas since they are relatively expensive, especially during the holidays when money can be tight,” she said.
