Datamax Fills Christmas Wishlists for Kids at Arrow Child & Family Ministries

News_TX_ArrowChildandFamilyMinistries

(Coppell, TX - Dec. 22, 2021) — When Datamax Business Process Consultant Edward Robinson III was introduced to Arrow Child and Family Ministries in 2008, he was so moved by their story, he engaged his church (and has every year since).

This year, he also engaged his company.

In an initiative spearheaded by Robinson, the Datamax Dallas/Fort Worth office helped fill the wishlists for seven foster children at Arrow Child & Family Ministries. The project was part of the ongoing DatamaxCares Program and enlisted the minds and hearts of the company's Administrative, IT, Sales, and Executive teams alike.

After employees raised funds and completed their shopping, the gifts were delivered to the DFW Arrow facility earlier this month.

“When you read through the lists of the kids, it just melts your heart,” Robinson said. “When you take a look at the names and what’s on the list, you see pajamas, socks, coats — they are all just basic needs that you and I take for granted.”

Arrow was founded in 1992 by a former foster child who grew up in a loving, Christian foster home, and continues now, entering its 20th year, to fulfill its mission of helping kids and strengthening families. With locations throughout Texas and Maryland, Arrow services children entering foster care by recruiting, training, licensing, and supporting foster families as they provide therapeutic services from a Christian worldview. The organization also houses a Residential Treatment Center and a Health Services program for children in need and at-risk families across the country.

“We truly appreciate Datamax and their willingness to serve these children,” said Bethany Putnam, Clinical Supervisor at the Arrow Arlington location. “It means a lot to them just to be able to open up these Christmas gifts, when they previously may not have had such an opportunity... We had a total of 105 kids’ wishlists, which were all filled by generous donors.”

Putnam said the primary goal of her organization is to ensure kids are safe, they are growing and developing, both educationally and culturally, and that their needs are continuously met and supported.

“At Datamax, this initiative was a great way to end the year by giving back,” Robinson said. “It provided for team building, and also allowed us to see just how fortunate and blessed we are. People here went and beyond to support this great cause.”
