The Lukens Company Gives Back This Holiday Season

It’s the season of giving and in keeping with our company philosophy of supporting the local community, TLC employees collected and donated items for two local DC charities this December.  In all, over 200 items were collected for the DC Foster Care System and the Animal Welfare League of Arlington.

The DC Foster Care System’s Pajamas for Kids drive is an initiative created by a local foster mother, Kathleen Jackson, in order to fill a need that was not currently being met by regular donations to the DC Foster system. Staff collected pajamas for kids of all ages in addition to much needed winter accessories and other items. A special effort was made to remember teenaged kids since this age group is the most often forgotten when it comes to donations.

To learn more about the DC Foster Care System’s Pajamas for Kids, read this article about the initiative and how you can help.

The Animal Welfare League of Arlington has been committed to the humane treatment of animals and to the promotion of animal welfare. The League provides temporary care and refuge for homeless and suffering animals, places animals in loving, responsible homes, provides animal control services to Arlington County and educates the public on a wide variety of Community services. Throughout the year, the organization relies on the public to provide necessities for the dogs, cats and other small animals in their shelter.

Stay tuned for an update early next month on our Year of Service, including the announcement of our first volunteer project. And from all of us at TLC, best wishes for the New Year!
