Home for the Holidays

Larry Alterwitz, CEO of Walker Furniture, announced that this year, the company will help make the holidays brighter for 25 families in need. Since 1994, Home For The Holidays has brought incredible joy and relief to hundreds of valley families that have endured a variety of hardships. Recipients have included single parent households having difficulty making ends meet, many of them with children suffering from physical or mental disorders; families that lost their homes and belongings to fires; and families that have been affected by illness or domestic violence. The letters typically come from teachers and students; health care professionals, social service workers, clergy, friends, neighbors, children and grandchildren.

Walker Furniture relies on the public to submit letters on behalf of prospective recipients. Anyone with an individual or family in mind should send a letter to Walker Furniture describing the situation. All letters are reviewed by outside, independent panels. The preliminary panel consists of representatives of HELP of Southern Nevada, which since 1970, has assisted individuals and families to become self sufficient through direct services, training and referral. Keep posted to our website and other Las Vegas media for dates in which to send letters for our 2011 Home For The Holidays Program.
