Navient employees deliver the gift of joy to Delaware children in need
December 14 2015 - 3:33PM
Navient employees contributed more than $18,000 in gifts to
help provide a happy holiday for 67 area children in need. The
Think of the Child First program is a partnership between Navient
and the Division of Prevention and Behavioral Health with the state
of Delaware.
For the seventh year in a row, Navient, the nation’s leading
loan management, servicing and asset recovery company, supplied
boxes filled with dolls, video games, bikes, tubes of wrapping
paper and other presents today during a giving celebration. The
gifts were given to the parents of children in need to fulfill
their holiday wish list.
“Through the generosity of the folks at Navient, so many of our
children will have a wonderful Christmas, many of whom might not
otherwise have anything underneath their tree,” said Kelly
Dobrowolski, treatment team leader, Division of Prevention and
Behavioral Health. “Every year, the Think of the Child First
program brings about the Christmas spirit and restores our faith
that there are good people out there who will go out of their way
to bring holiday cheer to many deserving girls and boys. We
are so grateful for this partnership with Navient.”
The effort was funded primarily by employee contributions from
Navient’s Jeans BeCause Program. The program offers participating
employees a “pass” to dress casually on certain days for their
volunteer donations. It is one of several workplace events and
fundraising activities planned by an employee-led committee to
support local charities in the area. Social workers collected wish
lists from the families, and Navient employees “adopted” children
to provide them with their favorite holiday toys.
“For many, December is a time to give back and extend a helping
hand to those in need,” said Sheila Ryan-Macie, senior vice
president, Navient. “We are delighted to once again have the
opportunity to collaborate with the state of Delaware to help add
joy to the children’s holiday season.”
The Division of Prevention and Behavioral Health Services
provides a statewide continuum of prevention services, early
intervention services, and mental health and substance abuse
treatment programs for children and youth.
