Eight years ago, we started a program utilizing funds from Boatnik, a radio auction in December, our canned food drive, and community donations to provide Christmas to families in need within our community. We spend about $100 on each kid to give them things that they need, but also what they want. Each child also receives a handmade blanket, a book donated from Oregon Books patrons, and a stocking filled with other goodies. Additionally, each family receives a turkey or ham, a traditional Christmas dinner with all the fixings, and boxes of food from our canned food drive to stock their pantry through the winter months.
YOU can help us achieve our goal of reaching more than 160 kids in the area this year! Any amount will help us!
