A Story of Hope “When my husband lost his job, we didn’t know how we would make it through the winter. Little Daisy’s Closet gave us warm coats for our kids and even boots for me. It wasn’t just clothing, it was hope. We felt cared for and reminded that we weren’t alone.” — Name withheld, mother of three

What an incredible experience with GDC It Solutions! We feasted on a delectable lunch, indulged in heavenly homemade treats, and shared inspiring stories. The GDC team unleashed their creativity, crafting remarkable Christmas structures from items that were being donated for LDC, each one a testament to their imagination! The judging by LDC and GDC leadership was a challenge, as every entry was a work of art – from the simple to the intricate. Bravo to the winning team for their exceptional achievement! The donated items were then delivered to LDC’s food pantry and toy stash, spreading hope and joy to those who need it most. Thank you, GDC and staff, for your boundless kindness and generosity! We had a ball!
