Holiday Cheer at The Mustard Seed

For families emerging from crisis, the holiday season can be a challenging time. At The Mustard Seed of Central Florida, we aim to ensure that families in need have everything to make their house a home, and during the holidays, we are lucky enough to connect families in need with companies who are interested in serving the community.

We would like to thank the following companies for helping make the holiday’s a little brighter:

Black & Veatch adopted the Henderson Family, providing toys and other necessities for the holidays for this single dad and his three children:

Edward Jones donated an abundance of toys to provide out this holiday season. Disney VoluntEars joined us to provide out toys to families who had received furniture with us.

Finally, we would like to thank volunteers from Sciens, who have volunteered throughout the year and donated funds to support three families to receive furniture this holiday season.

Thank you to all of the wonderful companies who have given this holiday season to families in transition here in Central Florida.
