For the holidays, NOVEC HELPS ran a toy and gift drive for children who will spend the holidays at homeless shelters. NOVEC HELPS members also sold coffee and doughnuts during the event, then used the proceeds to purchase even more toys.
“Our donation boxes overflowed with toys, games, art supplies, winter hats and gloves, and other gifts,” notes Nan Musick, NOVEC HELPS president. “Employees’ generosity will make Christmas morning happier for many children — from tots to teens.”

The assortment of toys, dolls, puzzles and games were delivered to several area shelters by HELPS members.
