This 100 percent volunteer-run nonprofit, based in Downingtown, has been in operation for over 50 years, helping families in the area who are in need. In 2016 and 2017, Victory’s generous team members donated over $2,000 to the cause, which Victory matched for a total of over $4,000! These donations provided gifts for 13 children and grocery gift cards for their parents or caregivers. This past holiday season, Victory employees collected cash donations, matched by Victory, to purchase gifts for two families, each with four children.
