Thank You from the Christmas for Kids Committee

 

We are incredibly grateful for the generosity and kindness shown by our community this holiday season. Thanks to the overwhelming support from donors and volunteers, Christmas for Kids raised $12,500, along with multiple large toy donations, helping make the holidays brighter for local families.

 

Because of you, we were able to serve 79 families and 194 children this year.

 

Your compassion, time, and generosity made a meaningful difference, and we are so thankful to everyone who helped make this program possible. From all of us on the Christmas for Kids Committee, thank you for showing up for our community and helping spread joy where it was needed most.
