Oh what fun it was to be part of the Winter Holiday Party at Family Focus Englewood on December 19, 2025. Members of The Freadom® Road Foundation team joined Family Focus staff and participants in their Prevention Initiative and Doula Programs for their final group festivities of 2025.

Books, toys, book character dolls, crayola crayons, coloring books -and even colorful newborn caps custom crocheted by Kiwanian Dayle Murphy - were chosen by delighted participants and “bagged“ to be carried home to be enjoyed as an integral part of the Holiday season.

Celebrations like this are just the place for books because they create excitement for reading and secure its central place in a child’s education portfolio, and future success in school and in life.

The books and other literacy materials provided by The Freadom® Road Foundation are made possible through the generosity of the Kiwanis Club of LakeView as part of Kiwanis International’s Young Children Priority One Initiative.
