GLENDALE -- Members of the Integrated Waste Management section of the
city's Public Works Department are among those who celebrated the season
for giving by doing just that.
The city employees provided a Christmas Eve dinner, complete with a
visit from Santa Claus and gifts for all, for residents of PROJECT
ACHIEVE, a local year-round homeless shelter.
Gina Moore, a customer service representative for the section, said
about 30 people attended the dinner. The section raised about $900 for
the event and items were donated by employees and local businesses, she
said.
This is the second Christmas visit Integrated Waste Management has
made to the shelter.
"It humbles you," Moore said. "Things in your day-to-day life you take
for granted until you see someone else doesn't have them."
