The “miracle” of Christmas can be seen
on the faces of thousands of families who come to
us each holiday season. You can see the joy of a
little boy holding his first toy truck or a little
girl hugging the doll for whom she has silently
prayed each night. You can see the smile of single
mother who proudly serves a traditional Christmas
dinner to her family. You can see the comfort of
a senior as he sits under his new blanket. These
are all examples of the miracles we are able to
perform with your help.
Depending on the needs of your community, we offer
programs such as Angel Tree, Adopt-a-Family, Forgotten
Child and Stocking Shop. We might hold a community
Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner or provide food
boxes for families to have a traditional dinner
in their home. All of these programs help match
the Christmas wishes of children, seniors and families
with donors who are able to help us fulfill them.
It is only with the help of our thousands of volunteers
and donors that we are able to perform these miracles
for families who might otherwise not be able to
experience the joy of Christmas. Whether handing
out toys to children, to distributing gifts to shut-ins
in hospitals and nursing homes, to providing a complete
Christmas dinner to shelter residents and walk-ins,
volunteers are a critical component of Christmas
Assistance programs.
