Our Season of Service

Inspired by some friends of our family, the Tucker family has decided to try a new way of exchanging Christmas gifts beginning in 2013. We hope it will become a wonderful family tradition. For years, the six Tucker children, their spouses, and their parents exchanged gifts every Christmas, but in 2012, we decided the gift-giving tradition may need a change since we are all so blessed and in need of truly nothing. We decided we needed to find a better way to celebrate the true Christmas spirit.

We suggested that we each perform acts of service in the name of the sibling whose name we were assigned at random. Our service will be kept a secret until Christmas Day.

Names were drawn for us and and we were notified privately of the person who should inspire our service. On Christmas Day, we reveal who we were given and how we chose to serve by posting our stories on The Tucker Family Season of Service blog.

We hope this tradition will help us focus on serving our communities and each other during the annual celebration of the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

We invite you to come back to our blog on Christmas morning to read this year's service.

Christmas Present for Rhonda

 

This year we made our school supplies drive bigger and better than ever. We stuffed this school bus and the box next to it full of school supplies. We got our entire office team and our patients involved to make this the most successful school supplies drive yet. Hundreds of items were donated. The supplies were donated to the Educator Warehouse, where teachers are able to go and "shop" for the supplies that they need for their classrooms. The supplies are, of course, free for the teachers to pick up.



 
I also encouraged our friends and family this year to save their box tops to benefit your school. I have received many box tops over the past year that will be donated to your school to help fund more school supplies. 

Merry Christmas!
-Sarah
