Reaching out

More than 1,000 children, seniors, and families will have a brighter holiday thanks to the generosity of Laboratory employees and organizations participating in the annual Holiday Drive.

Toys, clothes, and nonperishable food items are collected for those in need. The Community Programs Office (CPO) coordinates the holiday giving program, which also includes an Adopt-a-Family component.

Some holidays tags remain available, and fewer than 10 families are available for adoption. Employees and organizations are reminded to return their holiday tags and Adopt-a-Family gifts as soon as possible this week to Community Programs or one of the collection boxes around the Lab.

• Otowi Building cafeteria lobby
