Jefferson Bank Hoilday Charity Drive Benefits ChildSafe Kids

Many children around San Antonio will be served special meals this holiday season or may be on one of Santa’s special lists to receive toys. But there are some kids in the area who are just glad to be safe.               

ChildSafe provides specialized services to children that have been abused, neglected or sexually assaulted. This year those children will receive new toys, thanks to Jefferson Bank’s Boots Up for Charity toy drive. 

Bank employees voted on a charity to support this year, and bank departments are competing in a contest to decorate cowboy boots to represent the hope and happiness that ChildSafe can offer to children and families.

Bank employees have committed their personal time to collect toys for the children. The boots, along with a $10,000 donation from Jefferson Bank, will be presented to the organization in December.
