Every family receives a supply of food staples and the makings for their Christmas dinner which included a turkey for every family; toys; books; household and personal care items; clothing; bags were filled with baby supplies and clothing for 48 babies  and 271 stockings were filled for children aged 3-12.  We also delivered 115 holiday gift bags to elderly shut-ins and 22 developmentally disabled residents of group homes.

Our appreciation to the Rite Aid Corporation for making their vacant store in River Mall available to use as our base of operations.  The space was perfect for us with easy parking and automatic doors!

There is always a tremendous need to help struggling families here in our community during the holiday season and we are so grateful to everyone who helps us with this annual labor of love to share with those less fortunate!

Many thanks to our hard-working and dedicated Christmas Bureau committee members for all of the hours they put in, especially during December!  Much appreciation goes out to all of the volunteers who give of their time during the month to help sort and shelve all of the donations of toys, gifts and food!
