Paper Mart Partners with Children's Hospital LA for 2015 "Holidays from the Heart"

ORANGE, Calif. - Dec. 3, 2015 - PRLog -- Orange, CA (December 3, 2015) - Paper Mart, the leader in packaging and party supplies, is proud to announce its partnership with Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) for this year’s Holidays From The Heart event. The event offers support to CHLA’s most financially challenged families by fulfilling their basic needs and alleviating some of the stress felt during the holiday season. Paper Mart is supporting this important initiative by donating over 500 feet of high-quality wrapping paper and supplies, bringing smiles and joy to the families receiving much-needed gifts.

The Holidays From The Heart program began in 1993 with just two families, and aims to support families whose children have acute or chronic illnesses. The program also targets vulnerable youth served by the hospital’s many outreach programs. In 2014, 489 families (2,355 individuals) were given a happier holiday by receiving necessary goods such as blankets, coats, pajamas, and more. Though most of the families are from the Greater Los Angeles area, the program extends across all of Southern California.

“Paper Mart is passionate about giving back to the community, especially during the holiday season when families need the most support,” said Buffy Frick Simoni, President at Paper Mart. “Partnering with CHLA for the Holidays From The Heart initiative was a natural fit, and we are thrilled to help bring the joy of unwrapping gifts to our local families in need.”
