We encourage groups and clubs to adopt a family for the holidays!  If you would like to donate to support our program rather than adopting a family, please click on the orange heart below and choose “Holiday 2024” as your donation option.

​

All children will also receive new toys donated via local businesses at our Holiday Party in December, so it is not necessary to include toys or other items with your donation.

​

Please register no later than Monday, December 9 and plan to drop off your items at the Community Dining Room by Friday, December 13.  Thank you so much for your generosity!
