FIDM Hosts Holiday Party for Las Familias del Pueblo

FIDM's Career Center and Student Activities brought holiday cheer to the children of Las Familias del Pueblo this holiday season. The children took part in arts and crafts projects such as cookie decorating, coloring Christmas pictures, and making Christmas cards.  Santa (aka FIDM Alumnus John Urquiza) arrived just in time to give each child a special gift and take photos with them.

Ralph's donated the sugar cookies that were decorated and enjoyed by the children. Special thanks also to the Career Center staff, Lyn Tobman, and Fashion Group International's Los Angeles chapter for their generous donations for the purchase of wool scarves and pashminas to be gifted to the men and women of the Angeles Home for Seniors by the children of Las Familias del Pueblo.

Las Familias del Pueblo is a non-profit community center serving garment workers and their children in the Los Angeles Fashion District.  At Las Familias, children participate in after school programs and receive assistance with homework.
