Name?

When I first finalized the idea of helping families at Christmas, I needed a name. I came up with Project DUFF. Initially, DUFF was supposed to stand for something (as an anagram). I have yet to figure out appropriate words for DUFF.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks!

Phone Call

I got a phone call today from one of the families that was helped by Project DUFF. The mother was in great spirits and was overly excited with items her family received. She especially enjoyed the educational toys the children received.

More to come in the future...

2005 finished!!

I just got back from dropping off the last presents from this year's Project DUFF. I don't usually like meeting the children of the families (because I perfer to remain anonymous), but the youngest child of the one family was sick and home from school and I got to meet her. It was pretty cool and the mother was crying.

Anyway, just to recap what this year accomplished. We helped three families, with a total of 4 children. Over $550 worth of clothing, toys, educational items and gifts were given. That is an amazing total.

I want to give a huge shoutout to the following people who helped with Project DUFF this year:
Hannah Bingman
Amanda Yeager
Kate Leshko
Jackie Porreca
Heather Harvey
Laura Treadway
Jenn Barbezat
Gamma Xi Chapter of Phi Sigma Pi
Bill & Cheryl Frame
Gabe Lee

I know there were several other people who I received donations from but do not konw specific names for--thank you as well.

Thanks everyone for a great 2005 Project DUFF,
Duff
