We are asking for your help and support in making an underpriviledged
child’s holiday merry and bright. There are a number of ways that you
can support us.
-
Confirm your participation.
-
Join with friends or family members and participate in the drive.
-
Organize your club, business, or church organization to participate.
-
Send out an announcement on your social media page informing others.
Along with purchasing gifts for people on your list who have everything,
shop for a child who has virtually nothing.
We are busy working with The Children’s Home Society gathering the
wishes of children and families in our area who are in need. Once you
confirm your participation, we will send you an e-mail including all pertinent
information.

electronics, books, etc. They can be dropped off at any of our drop off
locations. (See below for drop off locations)
Individual children’s wish lists will be available in the month of November
for anyone willing to adopt a child or two for the holiday season.
While many donors fill all of a childs wishes, we emphazine to our
partcipants that all wishes may or may not be filled and it is up to the donor
