LUBBOCK, TX, October 12, 2023 – Vexus Fiber, a leading provider of high-speed fiber-optic internet services, is delighted to announce its partnership with Saint Francis Ministries to sponsor 20 foster children through the Christmas for Kids program in Lubbock and Amarillo. This initiative embodies Vexus Fiber’s commitment to giving back to the community and supporting those in need during the holiday season.
“At Vexus, we believe in making a positive difference in the lives of individuals and families within our community,” said Brian Borthwick, Director of Operations at Vexus Fiber for Amarillo and Lubbock. “Sponsoring these children through the Christmas for Kids program aligns with our values of compassion, kindness, and community support. We are honored to be part of this initiative and to bring joy to these deserving children during the holiday season.”
The Christmas for Kids program, organized by Saint Francis Ministries, aims to ensure that every foster child experiences the magic of the holiday season by providing them with gifts to open on Christmas morning. The simple act of giving gifts can significantly reduce stress, uncertainty, and feelings of isolation for these children, fostering a sense of belonging and hope during a crucial time.
Alicia Broughton, Executive Director of Development at Saint Francis Ministries expressed gratitude for Vexus Fiber’s involvement, “We are deeply grateful to Vexus for their generous sponsorship and commitment to supporting the foster children in our community. Their contribution will make a meaningful difference in these children’s lives, allowing them to experience the joy and warmth of the holiday season.”
Vexus Fiber encourages the community to join in and share the love of Christ this season by sponsoring a child through Christmas for Kids. Through collective efforts, we can ensure that no child is forgotten during this special time of the year. Nearly 1,300 children in the Texas panhandle need your donation to ensure they receive a gift to open and know someone really cares this holiday season.
Saint Francis Ministries and Vexus Fiber kicked off the Christmas for Kids sponsorship with a donation ceremony, reinforcing the shared commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of foster children and asking for other businesses and community members to consider sponsoring a child this season.
