Christmas Program
Most of us think of Christmas as a time of joyful celebration and sharing. For others, however it can be a stressful time filled with worry over feeding children who are home during school vacation and making Christmas special for their family on a limited budget.
The purpose of Heart and Hand's Christmas Box ministry is to provide a family with necessary supplies to create a special Christmas dinner, along with personal and household necessities not covered by other programs, such as SNAP (food stamps). It is our hope that these gifts can help to alleviate some of the financial stresses of the holiday season for our families. In addition to food and hygiene and cleaning products, we also gift each family with a Bible and/or devotional material to enjoy together. To be eligible to receive a Christmas Basket, families must meet our program income and residency guidelines. Pre-registrations for this program are held in October.
A list of items needed for the Christmas Basket program may be found here. If you would like to donate items, please contact our office for an up-to-date total of the number of items still needed.
