Help put a smile on
a child's face! 
The holiday season is just around the corner, and once again we know that folks in our community will not have the means to celebrate the season. While countless parents are telling their children that there will not be many gifts under the tree this year, a large number of children in our community will not be receiving any presents. It's a luxury many parents cannot afford as they are simply trying to make ends meet. All donations will support the more than 130 local families who have reached out for help so far this year.
Want to make a difference for a family in need ? * Sponsor an individual child or family * Organize a scarf, hat and mitten drive * Organize a toy drive * Donate a grocery gift card * Make a monetary donation

After the holidays, the shelves of local food pantries begin to run low. That's why we host the annual Souper Bowl of Caring Food Drive, placing volunteers in local grocery stores to accept food and monetary donations from the community. Won't you join us?
