Local company buys toys and other household items for family in need

Farmington Hills, MI: December, 2012 -- American Profit Recovery, a collection agency in Farmington Hills, Michigan with additional offices in Massachusetts and North Carolina has once again taken time out their busy schedule to make the holidays that much more enjoyable for a local family. This is the third year in a row the company has adopted families in both Michigan and Massachusetts.

Team members and owners of the company have spent the past couple of weeks shopping for a family referred to them by Volunteers of America. This year’s family was a single mother of six young children, ages 14,13,10,8,5 & 2.  A list of items was presented to the company and many participated in helping make this family’s holidays a little brighter.

Donated items included a toddler bed, microwave oven, various items for the kitchen and of course toys and children’s clothing. And one employee along with her family made all six children Christmas stockings and filled them with toys, candy and many other items.

“As adults, we tend to take holidays for granted, especially Christmas. Being in an atmosphere where the family was appreciative of even the smallest things was a huge reality check,” said Diamond Andrews, an APR team member. “This will definitely go on my list of my favorite APR moments.”

Employees raised over $1,000 by paying for the opportunity to dress casual in the office and each office set up a giving tree with all the gifts needed for the family. Employees used money raised as well as their own funds to buy gifts.
