As in the past several years, WIKA USA headquarters in Lawrenceville partnered with Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) to buy gifts for children in Gwinnett County’s family court system. The Christmas tree in the main lobby was decked with not only lights and shiny ornaments, but also the wish lists of children in protective care. This year, the Lawrenceville location sponsored 44 children and purchased over 250 individual gifts.
Robin Jones, executive sales assistant, said, “Participating in this event is like a fun ride with a serious mission. Everyone shops with such enthusiasm because we all care about the program. And it’s such a great way to give back, especially this time of year.”
WIKA USA’s location in Houston also spread Christmas cheer to kids in need. This year, employees sponsored the wish lists of 10 children through Child Advocate, an organization that mobilizes court-appointed volunteers to break the cycle of child abuse.

WIKA USA wishes our employees, our customers, our corporate partners, and especially these children a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
