The holiday season is here, and at The Lodge at Crossroads, we’re thrilled to celebrate with a meaningful tradition. This year, we’re participating in Morguard’s North Pole Express, a four-week donation drive dedicated to bringing joy and hope to foster children across the country. Together, let’s make a difference in their lives and show them they are valued and loved.
What Is the North Pole Express? 🎅
The North Pole Express is a nationwide initiative where Morguard communities, including ours at The Lodge at Crossroads, collect donations to support children in foster care. For the next four weeks, our lobby will be transformed into a cheerful collection point for your generous contributions. Your donations will help fill comfort cases—special backpacks designed to brighten a foster child’s day with essentials and comforting items.
Who Are We Supporting? 💙
We’re proud to partner with Comfort Cases, a nonprofit that provides foster children with backpacks filled with essentials like books, pajamas, hygiene products, and other thoughtful items. Many children enter foster care with their belongings in trash bags. These comfort cases provide them with dignity, hope, and a reminder that they are cared for.
How Can You Help? 🎁
From now until December 13th, we’re inviting all residents to contribute to this wonderful cause. Simply drop off any of the following items in our collection box located in the lobby:
- New pajamas (all sizes welcome)
- Diaper wipes (packs of 10–48)
- Children’s board books (to inspire imagination)
- Small blankets and stuffed animals (for warmth and comfort)
- Baby washcloths (to help with daily care)
Every item, big or small, makes a difference. Please note that all donations must be new and unused, and we kindly ask that religious or holiday-themed items not be included to ensure inclusivity for every child.
Need More Information? 🤔
If you have any questions or need guidance, our team is here to help. Stop by the leasing office or give us a call, and we’ll be happy to assist you in getting involved.
Why Join In? 🤗
The holidays are about spreading kindness and creating joy. By contributing to the North Pole Express, you’re not just donating items—you’re helping make a foster child’s holiday season brighter and more hopeful. Let’s come together as a community to show these children they’re not alone this holiday season.
Thank you for being part of this wonderful cause. Let’s make this holiday season truly special at The Lodge at Crossroads. Ready to spread some cheer? Let’s do it! 🎄
