GarzaEMC has continued its partnership with the Salvation Army by organizing and participating in several holiday initiatives to support local families. The company has worked with the Salvation Army for years, contributing to events such as the annual Toy Drive and Distribution, as well as the Back-to-School Field Day and Shoe Donation.

This year, GarzaEMC hosted a new holiday event where families decorated cookies and homemade ornaments together. The event was described as an opportunity for meaningful connections during the holiday season. According to GarzaEMC, “The afternoon was filled with smiles, laughter, and meaningful connections, reminding us that the holidays are about being present and sharing time with one another.”

In addition to hosting events, GarzaEMC participated in the Salvation Army Angel Tree program by volunteering and adopting a family. This effort aims to provide gifts and necessities to families in need during the holidays. The company stated, “Participating in the Angel Tree allows our team to directly impact local families and reinforces the spirit of giving that defines this time of year.”

GarzaEMC highlighted its commitment to community involvement by emphasizing family values. “Family is one of GarzaEMC’s core values, and we’re grateful for opportunities to extend that sense of family to those served by the Salvation Army,” said a representative from GarzaEMC.

The company expressed intentions to continue collaborating with the Salvation Army on future community-focused activities.
