Looking back on this holiday season, there are so many people and organizations to be grateful for at Encompass. Our clients and community are touched by the kindness of many — but we’re especially grateful to FedEx Express in Soquel!

For the second year in a row, local FedEx employees joined together to donate over $1500 worth of holiday gifts to our youth and young adults who have been in foster care.

Our youth received personalized gift bags with items they had requested — addressed to them.

These personal gifts made a world of difference to our young participants who often feel forgotten over the holidays.

We are so grateful to FedEx for their generosity in remembering these young people in our community.
