Program accomplishments

  • SINCE ITS INCEPTION THE ORGANIZATION HAS SUPPORTED OVER 13,000 UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN DEALING WITH POVERTY, AIDS, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, AND SUBSTANCE-ABUSING PARENTS. VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE AREA HELP THE ORGANIZATION IDENTIFY FAMILIES WHO OTHERWISE WOULD NOT HAVE A HOLDIAY CELEBRATION AND HELP THEIR CHILDREN COMPLETE WISH LISTS CONSISTING OF THREE COMPONENTS: SOMETHING EACH CHILD WANTS SOMETHING HE OR SHE NEEDS AND SOMETHING EDUCATIONAL. SUPPORTERS "SPONSOR" A CHILD BY SHOPPING FOR ITEMS SPECIFIED ON THE WISH LISTS AND DELIVERING WRAPPED AND TAGGED GIFTS TO ONE OF SEVERAL PREARRANGED DROP-OFF SITES IN EARLY DECEMBER. THE PROGRAM HAS EXPANDED OVER THE YEARS TO INCLUDE FOOD BASKETS FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY, CLOTHES, AND SCHOOL SUPPLIES. IN MID DECEMBER VOLUNTEERS TRANPORT THE GIFT BAGS AND FOOD BASKETS TO A CENTRALIZED LOCATION WHERE AGENCIES PICK THEM UP AND DELIVER THEM TO THE DESIGNATED FAMILIES JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS OR HANUKKAH, AS APPOPRIATE.
