Our research assistants unanimously agree that the best part of the job is getting to connect with the friendly families (including grandparents, aunts and uncles, and sometimes even dogs—we’re looking at you, Buster!) that visit our research center every day. We feel incredibly fortunate to be so embraced by the Evanston community, and this holiday we decided we wanted to do something to give back.
The Infant Welfare Society of Evanston nurtures, supports, and educates children and families, so we decided they’d be a natural fit. This year, we’re delighted to be participating in their Family-to-Family donation program to help brighten the holiday for people in need. For the past two weeks, we have been busy selecting toys, books, and clothes for our family, and next week we’ll be dropping them off at the Infant Welfare Society.
