Good Stuff

At Christmas
Each year Marnoble Computer and friends help provide Christmas gifts for the clients of the Houston Center for Independent Living.

HCIL has been a customer of Marnoble Computer for 16 years. My staff knows first hand the great work done by HCIL. Specifically, HCIL is a non-profit, non-residential community-based resource and advocacy center run by and for individuals with disabilities. HCIL staff members provide peer support and advocacy services that ultimately give others the tools to pursue freedom from dependence.

Each year HCIL staff hosts a Christmas Party for individuals with disabilities who utilizes their services. We provide gifts for approximately 500 men, women and children, spending about $5 per person for gifts. HCIL holds a Christmas Party each year, I am told that for many it is their only Christmas celebration.

The Marnoble staff thanks our friends and customers who help make this happen event happen year after year.
