By: Scott LeRoy HALOS (Helping And Lending Outreach Support) is a public/private partnership that provides much needed resources and special opportunities to these children and their caregivers. Through partnerships with community organizations and local businesses, social workers are given the means to provide toiletries, clothes and services for the children in need. DataSpring employees join in this partnership effort by participating in the Back to School HALOS program, providing new school uniforms and supplies for each sponsored child. During the 2008 holiday season, employees sponsored 22 children; providing bikes, toys, books and clothing for those under DSS care. This effort has been an annual event for DataSpring, bringing employees together and encouraging them to be active in the community in a very rewarding way. “Before I came to DataSpring I had not heard of the HALOS program,” said Paula Rowell, DataSpring employee. “One day I walked in to find the conference room filled with bikes, boxes and bags of wrapped gifts. These children deserve to be happy just as any other child, and I’m proud to be an employee of a company that supports such a worthwhile cause.” # # # About DataSpring As the market leader in high quality information technology solutions, DataSpring redefines an organization’ End
