Christmas Cheer: By The Hand Club hosts annual Christmas party for families with help from Rep. La Shawn Ford
State Rep. LaShawn Ford, a longtime supporter of By The Hand Club, recently joined dozens of volunteers to hand out the season’s first Christmas presents to 60 students from By The Hand’s Austin site, fulfilling By The Hand’s promise that every child in its program has a Christmas gift under the tree each year. Austin Weekly News spotlighted the celebration, where families gathered for seasonal treats, crafts and worship at what has become one of the most anticipated events of the year.
