Phillips Office Solutions adopts three area families for Christmas

This year brought a name change for Phillips Office Solutions, formerly The Phillips Group.

But one thing remained constant: the family-owned company’s annual holiday adopt-a-family program.

Phillips this year adopted three families – one each in the Harrisburg, Mechanicsburg and West Shore school districts – comprising five children and five adults.

Linda Kazar, who works in Phillips’ credit and collections department, shopped for the families on three consecutive Saturdays. Toys, clothing and supermarket gift cards were on her list.

Many other Phillips employees got involved by participating in fall soup lunches at the company’s Middletown main office. They paid $5 each Wednesday, with the proceeds supporting the adopt-a-family program.

This year, Phillips developed a cookbook featuring employees’ favorite recipes. Sales of the cookbook also benefited the holiday program, which raised a total of $2,200.
