2008 Operation Joy Adopt-A-Child Program
December 18, 2008—Each Christmas Season since 2006, many employees of First Alliance Bank have volunteered to participate in "Operation Joy Adopt-A-Child" sponsored by the Emmanuel Episcopal Center. Through the program we are provided the names and wish lists for each child in a family.
Trees are placed in the kitchen of each branch office and include ornaments which each state one gift from the children's wish list. Employees who wish to participate remove the ornaments and replace the ornament with their name so there will be a record of which employee is providing that specific gift.
Gifts for the children and Mom are beautifully wrapped and presented to the family. This year's adopted family was able to join employees of the Uptown Office for a "Christmas Celebration." It was a great pleasure to know that our adopted family had a very Happy and Blessed Christmas thanks to the love, kindness and generosity of the First Alliance Bank staff.
