Team Navient supports 30 Delaware-area children for the holidays
December 13 2018 - 3:44PM
This holiday season, 30 children from 10 families in the First
State are receiving warm clothing like coats, boots and hats,
electronic games and toys, grocery gift cards, and many other items
on their wish lists, thanks to Team Navient and the company’s
employee activity committee.
This year, Navient employees raised more than $12,000
through fundraising efforts like the popular dunk tank at the
company’s annual fall picnic event. In addition, employees raised
money through the company’s Jeans BeCause program, which gives
participating employees a “pass” to dress casually in exchange for
volunteer donations.
The raised funds will support a merry holiday season for many
families served by Delaware’s Department of Services for
Children, Youth and Their Families. The department’s social workers
collected a list of needs from the families,
and Navient employees volunteered to fulfill their wish
lists. The year-long effort culminates in a gift presentation to
parents and caregivers.
“Think of a Child First really helped my family out this year,
especially my daughter who suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress
Disorder,” said Shylanea, one mom served by the program who
attended the gift presentation ceremony at Navient’s Newark office.
“This is our first year participating in the program and I know she
will be really happy about the gifts.”
This holiday season marks nine years of Navient participation in
“Think of a Child First” program. The company’s tradition of
supporting area families during the holidays started in 2009 with
the help of employee Judi Beamer.
Delaware’s Department of Services for Children, Youth and
Their Families supports the needs of area families dealing with
financial problems, medical issues, substance abuse and other
challenges year-round. To learn more about services available
